About Tilsit
Wikipedia Article About Tilsit on Wikipedia

Tilsit cheese is a light yellow semi-soft cheese. Tilsit was created in the mid-19th century by Swiss settlers in Prussia. The same ingredients were not available and the cheese became contaminated by molds, yeasts, and bacteria in the humid climate. The result was a cheese which was more intense and full flavored. The settlers named the cheese after Tilsit, the Prussian town they had settled in.

Now also produced in Denmark, Tilsit has a medium-firm texture with irregular holes or cracks. Commercially produced Tilsit is made from pasteurized cow's milk, ranges from 30 to 50 percent milk fat and has a dark yellow rind. Often flavored with caraway seed and peppercorns, Tilsit is a superb complement to hearty brown/rye breads and dark beers. It is a common table cheese, yet extremely versatile. Tilsit can be eaten cubed in salads, melted in sauces, on potatoes, flans, or burgers. Tilsit goes well with Danish Ales.
