I am a Murtaler - Murtaler Styrian Cheese
- 2 minutes of reading time
Make a difference
Murtaler Steiererkäse is a cooked cheese that has been seasoned with spices such as caraway and salt. Unlike Ennstaler Steirerkäse, Murtaler is not a crumbly cheese but firm to the bite. Whether on delicious, fresh brown bread, with a hearty Brettljause (snack) or melted over egg dishes or as a soup - Steirerkäse simply belongs to the Murtal.
Many farms in the region produce the cheese according to their own secret recipe. Here, the ripened skimmed curd is seasoned and boiled up by adding butter and milk. If you discover white dots in Murtaler Steirerkäse, this is a sign of genuine handicraft.
