Tilsiter Cheese

Tilsiter Cheese is intended for direct consumption and is often used in the food industry. Its strong flavor makes it suitable as a sandwich topping and ideal for slicing, melting, dicing or grating, so it is also used in dips, soups, prepared salads, crackers, French fries and many other prepared foods. It is also used as a garnish for toast, hamburgers or potatoes, as it melts perfectly and gives a delicate sour taste to the food.

Description

Tilsiter Cheese is a semi-hard Swiss-Dutch rennet cheese with a salty-sour taste, made from fresh or pasteurized cow’s milk. The cheese has a light yellow color, a thin light brown rind and evenly distributed small irregularly shaped holes. The manufacturing process involves heating the milk, adding rennet and colorants, cutting the curd formed, draining the whey, and finally shaping and salting the product. Tilsiter Cheese is aged for at least two months. It is also known as Tilsit.

Tilsiter Cheese has excellent melting properties. It is also characterized by a high content of calcium and easily absorbed vitamins of the A, B and D groups. It also contains micronutrients such as phosphorus, sodium and potassium. In addition, Tilsiter Cheese contains tyrosine.
