Marinated Spicy Olomouc Cheese – Not Just a Beer Snack for the Guys

Step-by-step method

At a glance

This marinated Olomouc cheese is a hands-on layering project that comes together in just 17 minutes, though you'll need patience – at least a week of maturing time to let the cheese soften and the flavors meld beautifully. You're building delicious layers of cheese, vegetables, and herbs in a jar, then covering everything with oil and letting it work its magic in a cool spot.

Tomato oil and sunflower oil

Pour over the jar first with the oil the sun-dried tomatoes were stored in, then top up with sunflower oil. Use enough oil to make sure everything in the jar is fully submerged.

Maturing time

Seal the prepared tvarůžky and leave them to mature in a cool place for at least a week, ideally two to three. If you leave them somewhere less cold than the fridge, like a pantry, they'll mature faster. Check them regularly until they're beautifully soft.

Tip:

You can also add optional extras to the jar to suit your taste – pickled chilli peppers, olives, capers, pieces of fresh colourful pepper, or juniper berries.

Tip: flavouring the cheese

You can also marinate the tvarůžky in beer instead of oil – a good quality dark beer works best. Before marinating, you can also coat the cheese in hot or sweet paprika.
