In January, we wrote about the legend of Liederkrantz, a cheese that had become extinct 20 years ago. Check out the post for the intriguing story.
But it looks like Liederkrantz has returned! A couple years ago, the DCI Cheese Co bought the cheese division of ConAgra, who apparently was holding on to the Liderkrantz recipe. Last weekend in Madison, cheesemaker Myron Olson of DCI presented Liederkranz at the World Championship Cheese Contest. Olson works out of the Chalet Cheese Co-Op in Monroe, WI, and his cheesery also makes Limburger, the German cheese that Liederkrantz was styled after.
Liederkranz fans rejoice! In the next week, the the cheese will reappear in Milkwaukee, Whitefish Bay, Mequon, Wauwatosa, Grafton, Elm Grove, Franklin, Greenfield and Germantown, Wisconsin.
