 Boston.com / Business / Biggest Swiss cheese looks to protect name   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Swiss makers of the cheese, the country's biggest agricultural export, are looking to protect its name from competitors around the world that have long copied the pliable nutty-flavored slabs riddled with large round holes created by gases released during fermentation.
International cheese makers argue against the protected designation because more Emmental is produced outside Switzerland than inside and say the name is not protected under the benchmark 1951 international Stresa convention, giving all cheese producers the right to use the name.
Though it was once thought that good cheese could only be made from the milk of cows raised in the Alps, Emmental was born in the rolling country of the Emme Valley in the canton of Bern.

 WTO | Trade policy review conclusions remarks - Switzerland 1996
Noting that Switzerland was the world's fourth largest exporter of cheese, assisted by significant export subsidies, members asked why the Swiss Cheese Union had not been notified to the WTO as a state-trading enterprise.
In response to various specific questions raised, the Swiss representative said that the Swiss Cheese Union was responsible for the administration of export subsidies, and only of certain cheeses and was not, therefore, a State-trading enterprise in GATT terms; its abolition was envisaged for 1997.
While recognizing that many Swiss service industries were highly competitive, members observed a variety of interlinked obstacles to market entry, including work permit regulations, nationality requirements for board members, and restrictions on real estate acquisition and share transfers.

A cheese from the valley was cited in a 1273 document in the village of Burgdorf, but the term "Emmentaler cheese" was used for the first time in 1542, in a document describing a donation from the bailiff of Aarburg.
Imitators elsewhere caught on quickly, and versions of the cheese started to be made in many countries.
Ernst Oettli, who employs three people at his small traditional village dairy in northern Switzerland, concedes that Emmental has become a generic name for Swiss cheese, but he says it should be established as protected name for carefully crafted cheese from the region.
