The correct spelling of the cheese commonly known as "sweitzer" is actually "Swiss" or "Swiss cheese". The IPA phonetic transcription for "sweitzer" would be /ˈswaɪtsər/, with the "s" being pronounced as a "z" sound. This misspelling is likely due to a mishearing or misreading of the name, as the cheese is named after Switzerland, where it originated from. It is a semi-hard cheese with a mild flavor and a distinctive holey texture, and is popular in sandwiches and fondue.
