Rögös Túró | Local Cheese From Hungary, Central Europe | TasteAtlas

Rögös túró

Rögös túró is a traditional cottage cheese made in Hungary from cow's milk, cream, and lactic acid bacteria cultures. The cheese is ivory white to yellowish-white in color. Its flavor is delicately and pleasantly sour, fresh, fruity and aromatic, reminiscent of fresh milk.


After World War I, Hungary started to export raw and processed cow's cheese. The cheese mainly went to Germany, where the Hungarian cheese was more valued and more expensive than other cheeses. Cottage cheese started to be made around that time. It is made by chopping the cow's cheese into fine pieces the size of a hazelnut.


Pair this fresh cheese with sliced fruit, honey and cinnamon for a tasty snack.
