If you have visited us in Warsaw there is a high likelihood that we have introduced you to one of our favorite Polish delicacies...farmers cheese. This is a cheese produced in the Southwest mountains of Poland and is served warm and grilled with a cranberry jelly on the side. It is a surprisingly delicious combo! I came across this photo exhibit documenting the cheese production. Its pretty cool to see how the cheese is produced. Want to try it yourself? Some specialty food shops in the US do sell this cheese. But, an even better option is to come and visit us to try it in Poland!
In the Tatra Mountains of Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, photographer Michal Korta spent three days capturing the process of creating Oscypek, a smoked cheese made from salted sheep milk. The cheese and the process behind it dates back to the beginning of the 15th century. The cheese flavor varies depending on the time of year it was made and the diet of the sheep.
