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

What is Baracskai Öreg?

It is a Gouda-style Hungarian artisan cheese crafted from pasteurised cow's milk from local cattle.

The long ageing period gives it a unique depth of character, with its golden hue reflecting the summer sunshine, and its intense flavour the rich fragrance of lush green pastures.

It has a mellow texture that melts in your mouth, culminating in a hint of caramelised sweetness for an unparalleled experience that is a must-try for cheese lovers and connoisseurs.

How can I use it?

It will be the crowning glory of any cheeseboard. Enjoy it on its own or serve accompanied with dried cherries, crunchy pecans and golden honey for the ultimate treat.
Crumble into salads for an infusion of nutty flavour, or slice thinly and use it for preparing sandwiches or grilled cheese for a culinary twist.
Perfect for grating, you can enjoy it sprinkled over truffle pasta for a fine-dining gourmet meal from the comfort of your home.
