Murtaler Steirerkäse is a hard cheese, originally produced by many farms for their own use. The cheese is made from matured lean quark produced in-house for the purpose, and is seasoned with spices (caraway seeds, salt, pepper); cooking salt and milk are also added. All this gives Murtaler Steirerkäse its typical hearty, savoury flavour.
This snacking cheese is a traditional regional speciality, and is not to be missed on any "Brettljause" (platter of cold cuts). Murtaler Steirerkäse is particularly delicious on a slice of bread baked in a wood oven.
There's a very good reason why the region has been the "Mecca for Murtaler Steirerkäse" for 10 years!
A tip – also delicious served warm!
