Liederkranz cheese

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Liederkranz cheese is a type of cheese that originated in the United States. It is a soft, creamy cheese with a strong aroma and flavor, similar to Limburger cheese. Liederkranz cheese is made from cow's milk and has a natural, edible rind.

History

Liederkranz cheese was first produced in the late 19th century by a German immigrant in New York City. The cheese was named after the Liederkranz Society, a German singing group in New York. The original recipe was lost in the 1980s, but the cheese was reintroduced in 2010 by the DCI Cheese Company.

Production

The production of Liederkranz cheese involves a specific process. The cheese is made from cow's milk, which is pasteurized and then inoculated with a special blend of bacteria. The cheese is then aged for several weeks, during which time it develops its distinctive flavor and aroma.

Characteristics

Liederkranz cheese is known for its strong, pungent aroma, which is often compared to that of Limburger cheese. The cheese has a soft, creamy texture and a tangy, robust flavor. It is typically served with bread or crackers, and is often paired with beer or wine.
