"Liederkranz originated in upstate New York in the late 1800s as a replica of a traditional soft, smelly cheese from Germany…"
My grandfather loved stinky cheese and this was his favorite brand. He and I used to eat it together (I was a tot at the time) and chuckle conspiratorially at the way my grandmother and my mother turned up their noses and frowned. And keeping a little Liederkranz handy became a habit with me until the brand vanished from supermarket shelves sometime in the early ‘90s. (This was about the same time I moved to New England so I thought maybe it was just a regional thing, this absence of Liderkranz, but no—it just wasn’t being made for a while.) But now it’s back. Look for it. Give it a try.
