A Swiss cheese with some history 🧀

Tilsiter was developed in the middle of the 19th century by Swiss settlers in the Prussian town of Tilsit. While the settlers were essentially making a “Swiss” cheese, the different climate and cultures in the higher humidity of their new home resulted in a cheese that was creamier, denser, and maybe a bit more full-flavored than they would have found in their homeland.

Over the course of the next century, the town became part of the Soviet Union and the cheese migrated back to the country whence the original recipe had come. The city is now known as Sovetsk but the cheese is still, known by the name it bore back when it was first made: Tilsiter.
