How does it compare to Russian cheese?
A local cheese where I live is Circassian cheese. It is similar to mozzarella. Until recently, most of the local pizza cafes would use this cheese because mozzarella was not available. They have imported a lot of German made cheeses for years - Gouda, Maasdam, Tilsiter and Edam have been popular.
Now, though, cheese is being imported from other countries. We're getting cheeses from all over Europe, and even New Zealand!
