_Germany and U.S.A._
Made in Thuringia from sour cow milk with sheep or goat sometimes added. "The potatoes are boiled and grated or mashed. One part of the potato is thoroughly mixed or kneaded with two or three parts of die curd. In the better cheese three parts of potatoes are mixed with two of curd. During the mixing, salt and sometimes caraway seed are added. The cheese is allowed to stand for from two to four days while a fermentation takes place. After this the curd is sometimes covered with beer or cream and is finally placed in tubs and allowed to ripen for fourteen days. A variety of this cheese is made in the U.S. It is probable, however, that it is not allowed to ripen for quite so long a period as the potato cheese of Europe. In all other essentials it appears to be the same." From U.S. Department of Agriculture _Bulletin_ No. 608. Potato Pepper _Italy_ Italian Potato cheese is enlivened with black pepper, like Pepato, only not so stony hard. Pots de Crème St. Gervais _St. Gervais-sur-mer, France_ The celebrated cream that rivals English Devonshire and is eaten both as a sweet and as a fresh cheese.
