Parenica is a traditional Slovak cow's cheese that is smoked over fragrant oak chips, giving it an intensely aromatic flavour with irresistible smoky notes.

What is it?

Parenica is a unique style of cheese originally from Slovakia. It is made by weaving strips of cheese into its distinctive spiral shape, which is then steamed and smoked to create its characteristically intense aroma and rich taste.

This World Cheese Awards-winning cheese is crafted using traditional methods, utilizing premium pasteurized cow’s milk sourced from local cattle. The expert smoking process results in a complex and authentic experience that makes it a must-try for cheese enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.

How can I use it?

  • Parenica pairs perfectly with smoked charcuterie, as its bold flavour complements cured meats beautifully.
  • Serve it as a centrepiece on your cheese boards; its novel appearance is sure to spark conversations.
  • Enjoy it with a glass of full-bodied, oak-aged red wine, as the smoky notes of the wine will harmonize wonderfully with the cheese.
