Talk:Emmental cheese

message: The explanation of the name's origin is misplaced: the cheese is typical and representative for the Emme valley, not for the town of Emmen. The town belongs to Kanton Luzern, while the valley belongs to Kanton Bern. The town is situated at the Kleine Emme (Little Emme), which belongs to another drainage subsystem than the namesake river of the Emmental. Ijuedt (talk) 15:55, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: Cheese was made for centuries and the secrets of its making date back to prehistoric times. The difference is when somebody writes it down. So most of those cheeses were made long before any written sources.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 15:05, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  History? 

message: In The Cheesemaker's Apprentice, an apparently American-centric but broadly sourced book, there is an inconsistency regarding the hole or eye-forming bacterium used in Emantaler.  The relevant quote: "Propionibacterium shermanii: Forms the eyes in mountain-style cheeses such as Emmentaler." This is also backed up by the PhD-authored source, specific to Swiss Cheese, on the Propionibacterium page. prat (talk) 01:54, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Source inconsistency regarding hole ("eye") forming bacterium 

message: Currently the article is titled using the "Emmental" variation, but seems to use "Emmentaler" throughout the text.  For the sake of consistency, either the text should be modified or the article should be renamed.  Which title is appropriate per WP:COMMONNAME?  Deli nk (talk) 18:12, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point.  I only have read or heard the name Emmentaler used. I would support a title change unless someone can come up with evidence of more usage of "Emmental" in reliable sources.  --В²C ☎ 01:28, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I, on the other hand, have only ever heard it called "Emmental". It seems like Emmentaler is the German name and Emmental is the French name. Ngram gives a moderate preference to Emmental so I'd suggest keeping it there. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 07:58, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: In Switzerland, there is only one designation: Emmentaler Käse. The name is after the river Emme, which forms the Emmental valley, which is the origin of the Emmentaler Käse. So Emmental means the valley and Emmentaler means somebody or something that originates in Emmental (genitive form).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Giftzwerg 88 (talk • contribs) 14:58, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

message: The cheese is called emmental in English (and French), not emmentaler (which is its native Swiss-German name). And the article name is emmental, not emmentaler. Googling on any WWW search engine is easy to confirm that the common name of this cheese in English is emmental, not emmentaler. Why the article uses the Swiss-German name emmentaler in the main text instead of using the English name which is also the title of the article?

thread_title:  The cheese is called emmental, not emmentaler 

message: I have removed the addition about this sentence twice:  The first addition () was backed by a non-reliable source for the topic eater.com) that, in turn, cited a source that we consider generally unreliable (WP:RSP#International_Business_Timess) and was coatrack to spread rumors that have been unconfirmed for years. The second addition cited Newsweek ():  Newsweek clearly attributes it, and Metro is considered a generally unreliable source (WP:RSP#Metro). I fail to see how this trivia associated to unconfirmed rumors about living persons (WP:BLP) is relevant for the Emmental cheese article at all. --MarioGom (talk) 10:47, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
