Limburger Spread
Has anybody tried the New Amish Country Limburger Spread? Unfortunately
it's not available where I live other than mail order. Since Kraft discontinued making limburger we do miss it, but unfortunately the shipping is $15.00 for something that only costs $3.59. http://www.williamscheese.com/?Home&page_id=1 Can't say I expect many responses since most people don't care for limburger.

We had two small cheese makers in our area that used to make excellent limburger but, after they were bought out by the mega-cheese factories the limburger was discontinued. Whenever we crossed the border into NY state we always made it a point to pick up at least a couple of pounds of Mohawk Valley Limburger and also the MV Limburger spread to bring back home. I don't know how long ago Kraft purchased Mohawk Valley but, I understand they have now discontinued making Limburger. Sad. People that don't like Limburger just don't appreciate great cheese!

However, I had to stop buying it years ago - any time my husband opened the refrigerator he said it smelled like sweaty socks. :-( Somehow, neither bleu cheese nor gorganzola can compete. Dora |

For an alternative you should try Munster or Maroilles. Of which the former is the mildest. the second, no other words for it, stinks. It is bearable, but avoid the cheesecake they make from it. Maroilles is a speciality from Picardy, Northwest France, the channel coast. Arras. All are red-funghus cheeses. That are best if from raw milk, but also verry restricted available, because of the risk of lysteria contamination. -- Groet, salut, Wim. |

This comes out of the yankee magazine. It seems very close to what a
very old friend of mine used to make. I am not sure it comes close to what you are missing but I thought it might do the trick. Pam President Harding's Limburger Cheese Spread Dips and Spreads Recipes SAVERATEEMAILPRINT4 ounces ripe Limburger cheese 4 ounces (1/2 cup) soft unsalted butter 1 tablespoon finely chopped scallions, green part 1 tablespoon finely chopped scallions, white part In a blender or with a fork, mix cheese and butter well. Fold in chopped scallions. Serve at room temperature with toast points, dark bread, or crackers. Generously serves 6 to 8 as a cocktail spread or cheese course. Perhaps the simplest recipe in the presidential legacy is one written down in longhand with pencil on the back of a 3x5-inch index card by Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, a first lady who was not among the greatest cooks. |

We have two privately owned local supermarket chains that might be willing to do that as they are very customer oriented.

I was searching for Mohawk Valley Limburger Spread for years only to find it was discontinued shortly after Kraft bought them out 6 or so years ago. I've been buying real limburger at Specs but it's always old and past it's sell-by date (I get it for half price). And it's not nearly as mellow, smooth, and creamy as Mohawk Valley. Mohawk Valley was a pasteurized cheese spread like Limburger Velveeta. I miss it dearly - It was THE SHIT! -sw |

There's only one American brand left and it's harder to find than the stuff from Germany.

Limberger, butterkase and beerkasa are foods of the gods. Don't see them around much in Chicago either but we go to Wisconsin a few times a year for our "fix" of those and cheese curds.

I have some old WWII - era magazines, e.g. _Life_, etc., and there are several full -page ads for Limburger made by Kraft and also IIRC Borden. It was apparently very popular at that time, I wonder why it's popularity declined? I also have some WWII recipe booklets that tout Limburger as an ingredient in spreads for canapes and such... -- Best Greg |

In that area even the gas stations and truck stops on main roads have little cheese shop areas you can buy it at. Monroe is the home of Swiss Colony. Their yearly clearance sale is a foodies dream. It's a 2 1/2 hour drive but well worth having a fun day and it's beautiful up there. Lou |

It's popular to deride Swiss Colony but my family and friends like their stuff and so I spend a good amount of money with them around the holidaze and for birthdays, etc. I have gourmand friends - including chefs - who spend big bux at foofie cheese places but they still like their Swiss Colony that I gift them with. A few years back the mother of one of my chef friends worked in the customer service dept. of SC around xmas, she did it to get outta the house during winter and also for the employee discount, which was IIRC 30%. I took advantage of it several times, my friend would order for me through her mom. Alas, SC closed their Monroe customer service center, I don't know where it is now... I have friends who every summer and fall go up to Monroe and environs to camp and go "cheese - hopping", they always have a blast. This year I hope to join them, it's a lovely area up there...not FLAT and BORING like Illannoy. -- Best Greg |

I didn't get to go to the clearance last summer but a neighbor did. She brought of two grocery bags of stuff. there was so much I was embarrassed the gift seemed to extravagant and unwarranted. She said the prices on the stuff was all 4 for one. So a big bottle of fig balsamic vinegar marked down to a buck was actually 25 cents. there were chutneys comparable to the stuff harry and david sells, vinaigrette mixes, etc. Both bags cost her under 5 bucks. she had a whole trunk load of stuff. Quite a haul. > >I have friends who every summer and fall go up to Monroe and environs to >camp and go "cheese - hopping", they always have a blast.

Guessing here....
If that's properly assembled, it could be a percolator of sorts. Steam hits tea or whatever in the basket, then drips down into the base, a little like a Soxhlet extractor. But I've never seen anything like it.... Alex |
