#cheese Bluesky please help! Had an utterly delicious blue cheese during our cruise. I was called Österkron, made in Austria. Anyone know of where I could purchase it in the US or have recs for dupes available in the US?

I’ve never had it, but I will be looking for it now!

Kind of looks like Stilton. You might have more luck finding that where you are.

I had this when we were in Austria in January. Not sure in the US but I've had a couple of stiltons that are very similar. The drier ones rather than creamy. Might be easier to find.
