Cheesy ice-cream takes Czech town by storm | Cheesy ice-cream takes Czech town by storm |

An ice-cream made from a traditional pungent cheese has become a surprise hit in a small Czech town, with happy buyers scooping up all the innovative dessert the producer can make. | An ice-cream made from a traditional pungent cheese has become a surprise hit in a small Czech town, with happy buyers scooping up all the innovative dessert the producer can make. |
The cheese used, Olomoucké tvarůžky, is a mature, yellowish cheese with a strong taste and smell that is normally enjoyed with bread, beer and, sometimes, onions. It is popular throughout the country. | |
“Lot of people think it will be salty, but it is really a fairly sweet ice-cream with a tvarůžky cheese taste,” cafe owner and ice-cream maker Roman Cincara said. | |
Cincara, who has applied to have his recipe patented, adds sugar and other ingredients to balance the cheesy taste, while the cheese’s odour is partly suppressed by the low temperature. | Cincara, who has applied to have his recipe patented, adds sugar and other ingredients to balance the cheesy taste, while the cheese’s odour is partly suppressed by the low temperature. |
His cafe – in the eastern town of Loštice, the home of Olomoucké tvarůžky – was bustling with business last weekend, selling all 400 portions available. | |
Customer Lukas Pupik was convinced: “Superb. Sweet-salty, great. It really tastes like tvarůžky.” | |
The cheese has been produced in the Olomouc region that includes Loštice since the 15th century. It gained protected geographical indication status from the European Union in 2010. |
