Raw cheese selection
« on: January 03, 2015, 10:38:55 PM »
My wife is in Switzerland and is bringing back raw milk cheese aged less than 60 days, this is my list so far , any thing that needs to be on it for future understanding of making cheeses?

Reblochon, langres, espoisses , Camembert , Brie

Thanks

Raw milk cheeses aged less than 60 days are illegal in the USA. Don't be surprised if they don't make it thru customs.

Based on U.S. Customs website, cheese for personal use may be permitted depending on the type. All food products must be declared.
