Frequently Asked Questions About Tilsiter Cheese (Cream)
What is cream Tilsiter cheese?
Cream Tilsiter cheese is a semi-hard cow’s-milk cheese with a rich, distinctive flavor. It is eaten sliced or melted, and the cream style is made to have a fuller, creamier character than firmer, sharper versions.
What does “cream” mean in cream Tilsiter cheese?
“Cream” identifies a richer, creamier style of Tilsiter cheese, not a soft dessert cheese. Recipes differ by producer, so the term describes the style rather than guaranteeing one exact texture or method of manufacture.
How does cream Tilsiter cheese taste?
Cream Tilsiter cheese tastes savory, tangy, and more pronounced than a mild sandwich cheese. Its creamy style has a fuller, smoother impression, while the exact sharpness varies with the recipe and aging.
Is cream Tilsiter cheese the same as Swiss cheese?
No, cream Tilsiter cheese is not the same as Swiss cheese. Both can have holes, but Tilsiter has its own tangier, more assertive flavor and comes from a different cheesemaking tradition.
Why does cream Tilsiter cheese sometimes have holes?
Some cream Tilsiter cheese has small openings formed during cheesemaking as the cheese ferments and matures. The holes are not a required feature, so their size and number can differ between styles and producers.
What is the best way to use cream Tilsiter cheese in cooking?
Cream Tilsiter cheese works well in grilled sandwiches, burgers, and baked dishes because it softens and melts when heated. Its tangy flavor is especially useful when a recipe needs a more assertive cheese than mild cheddar.
Where did cream Tilsiter cheese originate?
Tilsiter cheese originated in the Tilsit region of historic East Prussia; the town is now called Sovetsk and is in Russia’s Kaliningrad region. The cheese later spread and developed into several regional styles.
What goes well with cream Tilsiter cheese?
Cream Tilsiter cheese pairs well with rye bread, apples, pears, pickles, and mustard. These accompaniments balance its rich, tangy flavor, making them useful for a cheese board or a hearty sandwich.
How should cream Tilsiter cheese be stored after opening?
Wrap cream Tilsiter cheese tightly or place it in an airtight container, then keep it refrigerated. This helps prevent the cut surface from drying out and stops the cheese from absorbing odors from other foods.
Can you freeze cream Tilsiter cheese?
Yes, cream Tilsiter cheese can be frozen, but thawing may make its texture drier or more crumbly. Use thawed cheese in cooked dishes, such as grilled sandwiches or casseroles, rather than relying on it for neat slices.
