Pineapple Cheese
In 1914 August 4 was a Tuesday.
When I first saw “Pineapple Cheese” I thought it might be a sliceable fruit preserve, like damson or quince cheese. Some further research showed that it was, in fact, cheese shaped like a pineapple! In 1809 Lewis M. Norton of Goshen, Connecticut began making these unusual cheeses and shortly thereafter patented the process. The cheddar-style cheese was pressed in a pineapple-shaped mold and then hung in nets to cure, which gave it a pineapple texture. The outside was painted with linseed oil or even shellack to create a hard rind.
To serve the cheese, it was placed in a holder and the top was cut off. Then the cheese inside the rind was removed with a special scoop.
The pineapple cheese was a popular gift as the pineapple is a symbol of welcome. It was an extravagant gift too, as it was one of the more expensive cheeses.
