Bryndza Foodways

Specialised

Sheep milk to salted, ripened, crumbled cheese: mountain pasture, transhumant shepherding, lump cheese, salting, fermentation by the cheeseโ€™s own flora, and then haluลกky, pirohy and spreads. Regionally strongest in Liptov, Orava and Podpoฤพanie. Salted sheep cheese is documented across the Carpathians, and no exclusive Slovak origin is claimed.
