As legend has it, the original Tilsit was first made accidentally by Dutch cheesemakers living in the town of Tilsit, then East Prussia. It is a washed, brushed rind that is regularly turned and brushed for the first two months to create the crusty edible rind. Tilsit has a smooth, supple interior with tiny irregular holes. The aroma is mildly pungent and the flavour throws hints of fruit & spices with a buttery finish. The cheese can get relatively strong in flavour as it matures and uses are extended to grilling, fondue, sauces & of course the cheese plate.
