SBRINZ CHEESE

   Over 860 Google hits.  Not in the OED.

   January 1890, CURRENT LITERATURE (from NEW YORK TRIBUNE), pg. 470:
   Three-quarters of all the cheese sold in America is of Swiss manufacture, and the Gruyere, or Emmenthal, and Sbrinz lead in popularity, with Sapsago a close third. (...)
   From Norway and Sweden, Gammelost, gjedost, and myseost are imported, but they don't sell except among Scandinavians.

   14 September 1941, NEW YORK TIMES, pg. SM19:
   Romano and Sbrinz, and their close cousins, Sardo, Reggiano and Provolone, are seldom served "as is."
