I was in their very large dairy section -- it actually takes up both sides of THREE refrigerated aisles. I was squinting at all the packages slowly and only saw one cheese labeled lactose-frei. Finally I saw a worker stocking one the shelves, so I asked if they had lactose-frei cheese. She pointed me over two aisles.
When I saw the yogurt, milk, cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, and so on, my jaw hit the floor. Then I bought one or two of everything. I wanted to hug the employee. She couldn't have known how excited I would be to have my dairy products back.
Besides the above, I brought home butter, sliced gouda and camembert. The only thing I couldn't find was ice cream. I'm hoping if I can get lactose free in everything else, I might be able to stomach a bit of ice cream every now and then.
In addition, I found Crisco, which I've never seen here before. Now I can make pie crusts. And that fruit is a persimmon. I haven't noticed those in the States, but we saw some on trees in Bellinzona. They've started appearing in the markets. I bought one to see what it would taste like.
