Swiss Vacherin Mt d'Or are much better, but unfortunately import restricted. French ones possibly as well.
I have never had a problem. At the border, you go through agricultural inspection. There you say you have cheese. If they ask you if it soft or hard you say "normal". But careful: Don't put it in your handluggage. I had mine confiscated in Geneva as a liquid, and had to check it in, using a little bag that I happened to have with me.
I remember seeing them for $80 a box in Montreal...
The one that I bought at Vacroux's in the winter was better than any that I bought in Geneva.
These cheeses are an acquired taste, though. Not sure Tim is into that.
Worth a try. Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel RePEc:per:1965-06-05:thomas_krichel phone: +7 383 330 6813 skype: thomaskrichel
