The most famous Czech cheese? Definitely Olomoucké tvarůžky, produced for more than 400 years in Czechia! Everyone who loves cheese will like this special mature cheese made of cow’s milk quark for its pungent smell and sharp taste. So let’s go to Loštice by Olomouc – the Mecca of all tvarůžky-lovers!
This is where the first tvarůžky factory, still operating to this day, was founded in the 19th century. Visit the Museum of Olomoucké tvarůžky in Loštice and besides the Loštice cheese, traditionally served with bread, try some tvarůžky ice-cream and desserts.
And good news for those who are watching their weight! Unlike regular cheese, tvarůžky are ultra dietary – they only contain about 0.5% of fat in dry matter. Another reason why try tvarůžky! You’ll have plenty of opportunities. Tvarůžky can be found in the menus of many restaurants all over the country and in almost every other pub. They are simply the best pickled, served on bread and with Czech beer. But you’ll also like them fried in breadcrumbs or on a pizza.
