Bonifaz

Bonifaz is a traditional cheese made from cow's milk in the Bavarian Alps. The cheese has a natural rind that hides a creamy and soft texture underneath. Due to the fact that there are many versions of the cheese, the flavors can range from creamy, mild, and milky to garlicky, mushroomy, spicy, and herbaceous.

Bonifaz is available in the following versions – garlic, garden herbs, chili, wild mushrooms, original, green pepper, and yogurt. It can be enjoyed on rustic bread, as a part of cheese platters, or it can be added to sauces, dressing, and salads.

It's recommended to combine it with fruit jellies such as orange, lime, or ginger jelly. Interestingly, the cheese is named after the archbishop Bonifatius, who adored Bavarian cheeses and was a patron of Bavarian Benedict monasteries.
