«Jāņu» Cheese
The taste of Latvian Midsummer — dense, golden, and fragrant with caraway
LATVIA · JĀŅU SIERS · ±380 G
What it is
Jāņu siers is Latvia's most cherished seasonal dairy — a firm, pressed sour-milk cheese made each year for the Jāņi midsummer festival in late June. Egg yolks worked into the curd give it a deep golden colour; caraway seeds scattered through every slice deliver the unmistakable savour that defines this cheese. Dense enough to hold its shape on the board yet yielding on the palate, it pairs naturally with dark rye bread, a smear of butter, or a glass of chilled kvass.
Ingredients
Pasteurised cow's milk, cottage cheese, eggs, butter, caraway seeds (0.5%), salt.
