Bauer Bayrischer Alpen Tilsit

Now I finally finish the reviews of our first cheese-of-the-month box before I start on the second.

Bauer Bayrischer Alpen Tilsit from Bavaria, Germany is a semi-firm cheese with a slightly spicy taste. Made in the style of Emmental, the Swiss migrants found the local environmental conditions and differences in the ingredients resulted in a cheese with smaller holes and a stronger fragrance.  So it's a cheese from the Baltic lowlands made with the procedures from the Swiss Alps. Apparently it is also lactose free which is interesting.

This cheese had a more rubbery texture but was still tasty. I wouldn't have called it pungent like the newsletter did but perhaps it was in comparison to a traditional Emmental. The Alpen Tilsit is a versatile cheese perfect for snacking with bread or crackers.
