Swiss Cottage Cheese Imported to Israel Amid Severe Local Shortage

Swiss Cottage Cheese Imported to Israel Amid Severe Local Shortage

Swiss cottage cheese is being imported to Israel for the first time to combat a severe domestic shortage. The imported product has a longer shelf life and is sold in non-kosher stores for NIS 8-9 per tub. Manufacturers cite holiday production halts for the shortage, which has persisted despite promises of resolution. The move by Euro Cheese aims to fill the gap left by empty shelves, with potential for kosher imports if demand is high.
