Eyes Even if "eyes" is used for food, it still sounds odd to me. For other items, such as garments or DIY parts, maybe it works, but it sounds wrong for food.

eyes There is a useful bi-lingual doc here which mentions 'barely visible eyes'

Generally called "eye cheeses". It would help if we knew the type of cheese you're talking about.

pressed cheese with holes

If you want a simple translation of your text, given the little context you provide, I think this fits the bill.

A small but plump round cheese, decorated with wheat ears in relief; a tender texture and a fruity flavour… A unique sunshine-packed taste that makes Fol Epi a delicious and very attractive pressed cheese with holes.

This is a pressed cheese with holes, unique with its generous round shape and its beautiful toasted wheat coloured coating...

Here they prefer the term holed-cheese in English:

However, EU regulations on cheese, mainly the COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 296/2009 of 8 April 2009 on detailed rules for administrative assistance with the exportation of certain cheeses subject to quota restrictions that qualifies for special treatment on importation into the United States of America, in both versions, Italian and English, are drafted as follows:

Article 1
For exportation to the United States of America (including Puerto Rico and Hawaii) of cheeses ‘Swiss or Emmentaler cheese with eye formation’ which fall within subheadings 0406.90.44 to 0406.90.48 of the Harmonised Tariff Schedule of the United States and are subject to quota restrictions, […]

Articolo 1
Ai fini dell'esportazione verso gli Stati Uniti d'America (compresi Portorico e le isole Hawai) dei formaggi «Formaggio svizzero o Emmental con formazione di buchi» che rientrano nelle sottovoci da 0406.90.44 a 0406.90.48 della Harmonised Tariff Schedule of the United States e sono soggetti al regime di contingentamento, […]

For me, its more natural to talk about *bucchi*, that is to say *holes*, rather than *eyes*.
