Oscypek

Oscypek is a protected traditional smoked sheep's milk cheese from the Tatra Mountains, handcrafted by highlander shepherds (bacowie) using centuries-old methods. The spindle-shaped cheese with its distinctive decorative pattern has a firm, slightly rubbery texture and a rich, smoky, tangy flavor. While making oscypek from scratch requires mountain conditions and raw sheep's milk, grilling or pan-frying authentic oscypek brings out its very best qualities, perfectly paired with tart cranberry preserves.
