If the label says Swiss cheese, that actually means it is _not_ made in Switzerland. Think about it this way, if Swiss on the label meant it came from Switzerland, that would mean they either only produce one type of cheese there or else they would call a bunch of different cheese the same thing. Calling it "Swiss" means it is made in the style the Swiss use. The resulting cheese is basically a clone of Emmental, an actual cheese made in Switzerland. The generic labeling term is used (as far as I know) only in the U.S., Canada, and Australia.
Answer 2It depends which country you are in. In most European countries, if it says "Swiss Cheese" it must come from Switzerland, otherwise the shop is fraudulently advertising.
There are lots of different types of Swiss Cheese, Emmental, Appenzell, Gruyère etc.
But US consumer law allows things to be called "Swiss" which are not actually from Switzerland.

What milk makes Swiss cheese?
Swiss cheese ingredientsThe first step in producing fine Swiss cheese involves sourcing the milk, which in Switzerland comes from cows that have been free to graze on the fresh grass and clovers on the mountains and hillsides of Switzerland. All Swiss cheese relies on raw milk as its base ingredient. Traditional Swiss cheese is made by hand and often left to ripen for several months before being sent to market for sale. Some varieties of Swiss cheese are flavoured through being wiped with various herbs during the ripening process.Hope it helps!!!!! :)

Should a name of a drink be capitalized?
This has two different trains of thought. Chicago Style - do not capitalize the name of a drink unless it is directly associated with the name of the drink. To use another food example - Swiss cheese should only be capitalized if it actually comes from Switzerland, other than that it is swiss cheese. So - manhattan, white russian and bloody mary should not be capitalized as a rule.
