Bryndza's origin is somewhere in Balkan probably Romania. First time mentioned in writings of Slovak nation bryndza was in late 15th century.
Bryndza is made from sheep milk. Milk is strained trough linen into wooden bucket named "putera". Putera is often made from spruce or fir wood. Before next processing milk need to have temperature about 30-35 centigrade. After many processes there's a pat of cheese which has to lie for few days (5-6). In these 5 or 6 days, cheese is regularly turned and wiped not to get mould and mature equally. After six days thin crust is removed and cheese is melted with salt. This fine melted salt cheese is Bryndza. Depending on region, onion or chive is added.
