Density 36 · +1 vs Dairy & eggs medianTilsit cheese posts a Nutrient Density Score of 36 of 100, Low band, and ranks 29 of 60 in Dairy & eggs. Per 100 g it delivers 54% DV of calcium, 49% DV of protein, and 28% DV of vitamin A, an unusually well-rounded trio for a semi-hard cheese.
Originating in northern Germany, tilsit has a springy texture and a tangy, slightly pungent flavor that suits open sandwiches and cheese boards more than cooking. A 1 oz (28 g) slice is a sensible portion. It does run high in sodium at 753 mg per 100 g, high in saturated fat at 16.8 g per 100 g, and notable in cholesterol at 102 mg per 100 g, so it is best enjoyed in modest amounts alongside bread or crackers.
