What is the name of gas in Swiss cheese?
The gas in Swiss cheese is called carbon dioxide.
It's produced by bacteria called Propionibacterium freudenreichii during the cheesemaking process. These bacteria break down lactic acid, which is a byproduct of the initial fermentation process, and release carbon dioxide as a waste product. The carbon dioxide gets trapped within the cheese, creating the characteristic holes or eyes.
