Thanks for the "heads-up." After I've tried some I'll file a report.

Thanks for the tip. Looks like they have some interesting stuff. I'm looking forward to ordering a variety of their products come December.

great site - saved for this fall!!

I placed an order today but I'm a bit apprehensive because it seems the Kutter outfit has been substantially bought out by another company.

Good for you!! From what I've read on their website, I don't think your order should be compromised at all. Do give us a critique of the cheese or cheeses you receive!!!

I'll let ya know. They say their limburger is firm. My experience has been that limberger goes from firm to soft & creamy and then back to firm (dried out). Ordered two 14 oz limburger and four 6 oz bergsteiger(liederkranz imitations).

I prefer Kutter’s Limburger to their version of Liederkranz and am likely to reorder their Limburger. Their Limburger seems a tad sweet (light in the salt dept.) but that’s better than too salty; I merely add a little salt to the schmear on my bread or cracker.

I have never heard of or tried this cheese.... hmmmm... Buck, you got me wondering now!!!!

PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT LIEDERKRANZ AND PONT L'EVECQUE (AND LIMBURGER) ARE "STINKY" CHEESES ARE BUYING, EATING, USING CHEESES THAT HAVE "AGED". WHEN THOSE CHEESES ARE YOUNG, THEY HAVE NO PRONOUNCED ODOR. AS THEY GET OLDER, THEY DEVELOP AN AMMONIATED AROMA AND THE RIND GETS HARD. THE CLOSEST YOU WILL COME TO "LIEDERKRANZ" IS LIMBURGER. YOU CAN GET IT ONLINE FROM iGOURMET AND FROM PLACES LIKE ZINGERMANN'S IN ANN ARBOR. WHEN YOU PURCHASE IT, TASTE TEST IT (IF PERMISSIBLE) OR PRESS IT. IT SHOULD "GIVE" A LITTLE (BUT NOT TOO MUCH) AND REJECT IT IF IT IS HARD.
BORDEN'S NO LONGER MAKES "LIEDERKRANZ". YOU CANNOT GET IT.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY LEADS ON DOMESTIC BRIE OR CAMEMBERT? KOLB LENA CHEESE MADE A DOMESTIC BRIE THAT WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD. BUT, ALAS, NO LONGER IN EXISTENCE. ANY LEADS WILL BE APPRECIATED. HTS.
