Baracskai Öreg Cheese 200g

Baracskai Öreg is an artisanal semi-hard cow's cheese. It is expertly aged for 16 months, resulting in a bold and mature flavour with exceptional complexity.

What is it?

Baracskai Öreg is a traditional Gouda-style cheese from Hungary, crafted from pasteurized cow's milk sourced from local cattle.

The long ageing period gives it a unique depth of character, with a golden hue that reflects the summer sunshine and an intense flavour that captures the rich fragrances of lush green pastures.

Its mellow texture melts in your mouth and culminates in a hint of caramelized sweetness, offering an unparalleled experience that is a must-try for cheese lovers and connoisseurs.
