Wielkopolski Ser Smażony

Wielkopolski ser smażony is a unique fried cheese product from Wielkopolska Voivodship in Poland. It has a homogenous, solid and elastic texture. The cheese varies in color from light cream to yellow, depending on how it is fried and on the quality of butter used.

The taste is intense and sharp, typical for fried cheese. Additionally, caraway seeds may be added to the cheese, and that is the only other variety that can be produced under the protected name 'Wielkopolska fried cheese'. It is made according to a local, traditional recipe typical for the Wielkopolska region since the 18th century when it was probably first made by the settlers who arrived in the western part of the region.

Today, the fried cheese is made only from fresh ingredients and it can be fried exclusively in butter.
