Swiss cheese has holes because of the gas produced by microbes (Propionibacteria shermanii) that are there consuming the lactic acid excreted by other bacteria (the ones that cause the milk to turn into cheese in the first place). The expanding gas produces holes in the cheese. Enjoy. http://www.straightdope.com/columns/010323.html
