About Tilsiter cheese

Tilsiter cheese is a semi-hard cheese that originated in the 19th century in Tilsit, a town in East Prussia (modern-day Sovetsk, Russia). This creamy, slightly tangy cheese is traditionally made from cow's milk, with some variations including added spices or herbs. It has a pale-yellow hue, a smooth texture, and a distinctive flavor that ranges from mild to pungent, depending on its aging process. Nutritionally, Tilsiter is rich in calcium and protein, essential for bone health and muscle repair. It also contains vitamins like B12, supporting energy production and nervous system health. However, it is high in saturated fats and sodium, which, when consumed in excess, could contribute to cardiovascular issues or high blood pressure. Popular in European cuisine, Tilsiter is versatile and pairs well with bread, fruits, and sandwiches or melted into dishes like fondue or gratins. Consume it in moderation to enjoy its benefits.
