What is another word for tilsit?
Pronunciation: [tˈɪlsɪt] (IPA) 
Tilsit cheese is a semi-hard cheese that has a distinctive flavor and texture. It is named after the town of Tilsit (now known as Sovetsk) in Lithuania, where it was first produced. The cheese is also known by other names, such as Tilsiter, Tilsiter cheese, Tilsitkaas, and Tilsit cheese. The name Tilsiter is protected in Switzerland and Germany, where it can only be used for cheese produced in a specific region. Outside of these countries, the cheese is simply known as Tilsit. In terms of taste and texture, Tilsit is similar to Gouda and Cheddar, but has a slightly nutty flavor and a firmer, crumbly texture.
