Kachkéis

Kachkéis

Specialised

Cooked cheese: curd left to ripen, then melted with butter, milk and sometimes bicarbonate into a smooth pourable spread, eaten on bread with mustard. A thrift food — it uses curd that has gone too far — and one of the few genuinely and specifically Luxembourgish dairy products, with close cousins in the German Kochkäse and Handkäse tradition rather than a unique invention.
