HUNGARIAN CHEESE SPREAD – LIPTÓI KÖRÖZÖTT🇭🇺

Yes Ashley! 😍 You’re diving into one of Hungary’s most famous spreads – Liptói körözött 🇭🇺. This rustic, paprika-spiced cheese spread comes from the Liptó region (now in Slovakia, but historically Hungarian). Traditionally, it’s made with Liptauer cheese (a tangy sheep’s milk cheese), but these days Hungarians often use fresh túró (farmer’s cheese) or cream cheese.

It’s creamy, smoky, and spread on crusty bread, fresh rye, or even kaiser rolls with raw veggies and pickles. 🥖🧀✨
