Emmental Candle

A celebration of one of Switzerland’s most iconic cheeses — the wonderfully holey Emmental. Originating in the Emme Valley in the early 13th century, Emmental is famed for its golden hue, smooth texture, and the distinctive round holes formed by natural fermentation. Often known as the “king of cheeses,” it has long symbolised both craftsmanship and indulgence.

Our life-sized Emmental Candle captures every detail of this alpine classic, from its mellow yellow tone to its beautifully imperfect holes — a study in both form and familiarity.

Unscented and hand-finished, it’s part of our Cheese Course collection — a playful yet refined tribute to the artistry of cheesemaking and the timeless pleasure of gathering at the table.

FRAGILE - Please remember that natural wax is a soft and delicate material, so some imperfections may be present on the surface. Natural waxes will 'bloom', this is a natural reaction to the environment which means the candle may appear 'dusty'. This is very easy to remove with a warm hand or quick blast with a hairdryer. 

H&S - Candle safety; 
- NEVER leave a burning candle unattended.
- Always put candles on a heat resistant surface, taper candles will need a stable, heat-resistant holder with a wide footprint to prevent them falling over.
- Keep burning candles away from things that can catch fire (e.g. curtains, other fabrics, furniture, hair). Keep candles out of draughts. Don’t put under shelves (there should be at least one meter between a candle and any surface above it).
- Candles should be kept out of reach of children and pets - consider where you place them in your home carefully.
- Make sure to leave at least 10cm between two burning candles - candles like to 'jump' between each other.
- Trim your wick when needed to maintain a height of 0.5cm.
- Keep wax pool clear of matches and debris to prevent reignition.
- Extinguish candles before moving them. Make sure candles are completely extinguished.
- CANDLES ARE NOT FOOD, NOT TOYS AND SHOULD NEVER BE EATEN.
