What is Liptauer Cheese?

Liptauer is a soft, Slovakian cheese usually made from sheep’s milk, although our version of Liptauer Cheese Spread uses goat cheese. It is believed to have got its name from the provenance of Lipto, Hungary, where the sheep’s milk cheese was made. However, others claim the popular cheese spread as their own, including the Czechs, Austrians, and even Scandinavians. And who can blame them? Soft cheese spreads have a special place in our hearts and I have to say, this one, with alllll the seasonings, is pretty incredible.

What is in Liptauer Cheese Spread?

Where do I begin? We whipped this Liptauer cheese spread with butter, and, as if that’s not delicious enough, we then infuse it with big flavor from bold ingredients like capers, sardines, and paprika. YUM.

The chill time is crucial here. The cheese spread will get better if you let it sit for a few hours and let the flavors meld.

What’s even more exciting is this indulgent cheese spread is simple to make at home, and works for nearly any occasion!

Here are the ingredients you will need:

• goat cheese or sheeps milk cheese, softened
• butter, softened
• paprika
• capers, drained
• anchovy fillets, chopped or smashed into a paste
• minced shallots
• caraway seeds
• salt and pepper
