PICKLED CHEESE OR NAKLÁDANÝ HERMELÍN image

Categories     Cheese     Brine

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 Hermelín rounds (or any other Camembert type cheese.)
Oils (I use mostly sunflower with as much olive as I can bear with 'wasting')
Garlic and onions thinly sliced
Paprika
Dried juniper berries
Crumbled bay leaves
Thyme
Rosemary
Whole black peppercorns

Steps:

  • Basically I slice each piece of cheese into three rounds. I then start with a large enough pickle jar to place the rounds in. I pour a small amount of oil in the bottom along with a tiny bit of each herb (onions and garlic as you like). Then place your first piece of cheese and continue with the oil and herbs in between each piece of cheese. It is important not to go overboard with the herbs. I personally find it unpleasant when eating a nice gooey cheese with a hard bit of rosemary. Once you have all your cheese in make sure that the oil is just covering the top piece. Put the lid on and stick in the fridge for at least 5 days.
