Named after a town in East Prussia, Tilsit was invented by homesick Dutch immigrants trying to recreate Gouda. Due to various factors, they were unable to recreate their beloved cheese. What they did create was a brand new cheese they named Tilsit. Tilsit is made from partially skimmed pasteurized cow's milk and is semi-firm with a springy texture, dotted with irregularly spaced tiny holes. It was traditionally made in large wheels, but is now made in loaf form, making it easier to slice (the way it is generally eaten). The rind is washed and brushed regularly for the first two months of aging to form an outer crust that keeps its supple, smooth interior from drying out. Tilsit has a mildly pungent aroma and a tangy taste that is delicate and fruity with spicy undertones. This German favorite is excellent on sandwiches, cold or grilled. It is also great on chicken or burgers, and also can be enjoyed melted over potatoes.
  • Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
  • Made with Vegetarian (Microbial) Rennet.
  • We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.

german tilsit
A very good flavor, however very strong smell (for those who are bothered by that, not me). Wonderful with fruit and crackers. I do enjoy one made in Switzerland more, but this one is the next best.

Tilsit already gone
THis was my first order from igourment and it was as promised. Very good. The last time I ate Tilsit it was stronger in taste and in smell, so the next time I'll order a different version.

Excellent choice
I have always enjoyed this cheese, but especially this time, when I needed to be certain to serve a non - animal rennet based cheese to a vegetarian guest.

A little too AGED
I have enjoyed all my purchases from you, but find the Tilsit a litle too well aged.

German Tilsit
This is a wonderful cheese for those who get tired of mild cheeses with little flavour. I have loved it for years, and eat it often.

A very good Tilsit
While I still prefer a Swiss Tilsit, this one is a close second. However you must really like an aged cheese, as this one is very flavorful and smelly.

German Tilsit Cheese
I am very impressed with the product and the shipping of this cheese to my door. always great qualityIt is packaged in a cooler with ice so I never have to worry about the hot weather if I order in the summer. The cheese is always great.
