Located in:Cheese, USA
Schlosskranz (German for Castle Wreath) is made by the Marin Cheese Company, located just north of San Francisco. Since 1865, Marin Cheese has been a leader in the domestic cheese industry. Traditionally made in a large wheel that is shaped like a wreath, this cheese is bold, aromatic and pungeant. Our Schlosskranz comes to us in a smaller, easier to enjoy six ounce sqaure. Schlosskranz, the successor to Liederkranz, is a smear-ripened, washed-rind cheese. Enjoy this true American original served with hearty breads and ales.
- Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Schloss was a surprise our first time, thinking it would be soft, stinky cheese, like Livarot or Epoisses. Instead, the aroma, texture and flavor brought to mind a Sharp cheddar-Stilton hybrid without the bite. Although not what we expected, this crumbly cheese grew on us over the course of three days of tasting. It may be a washed-rind cheese, but it is wholly unlike its cousins.

It has been so long since I have had Liederkranz, but this is slightly different and more like a French washed rind cheese, such as Epoisses, Wonderful
