    Amelia Nowak Hi guys! I live near Zakopane. Oscypek is a traditional highlander, smoked, sheep cheese, but nowadays there are different varieties, for example from goat, cow or unsmoked cheese. There are also in different sizes and shapes. There is also a cheese called KORBOCE which looks like pasta. When it comes to the shape that you've seen everywhere, also in food, it's called PARZENICA and it's a symbol of Podhale, the region of Poland where Zakopane is situated.

    Well you couldn't really choose worse time to visit Zakopane :) Spring, Summer and most of all Winter is the time to be there. Autumn no so much.
    And small tip about food, try slices of that cheese on your sandwich with ham and some veg. Also when you boil pierogi you boil the water first then throw in pierogi when its boiling stir few times and 2 mins later they pop to the surface then you know they are good. Can throw them on the frying pan after that for 2 mins on each side if you like them crispy

    if you're in wrocław, i absolutely recommend (as someone born and raised in wrocław):
    - gniazdo (świdnicka 36, great new york cheesecake, across the street from the opera building)
    - nasza pączkarnia (świdnicka 24, great pączki, sold still warm. very sweet, so its best to have something to drink with you as well, and i recommend getting one of the "plain" ones, not with decorations
    - u antosia (ołowiana 9, a bit away from the city center, but because of that its more authentic and cheap, and has great pierogi and cheesecake)
    - Christmas fair - it starts in late November and ends one or two days before Christmas eve. its on the main square, so pretty hard to miss. it can be pretty touristy and expensive though.
    - giselle (szewska 27, a tiny french bakery cafe with nice ambience and pastries)
    - fc naleśniki (kuźnicza 63, nice, rather cheap crepes.)
    - koton (igielna street, a cafe with some very nice cats and good tea)
    - przedwojenna (św. Mikołaja 81, one of the cheapest bars right next to the market square, open 24/7, absolutely saved my ass during my first years of college, only takes cash though)
    - XIII igieł (igielna 13, another good bar, in a basement with lots of different nooks and tiny rooms)
    - beer from spiż (rynek 2) though as someone whose worked there once, i recommend just buying it in plastic 1l bottles in the gift shop, instead of going in, the food is meh and doesn't have much to do with traditional polish cuisine.

    I got to add actually. Did the hunk of cheese you had have a hole through the middle from a spike? If it did than you did have the original home/farm made one. And the shapes are very traditionally zakopane, the cheese is made in forms to add character and let it cure. And it must be factory cheese if it's melting, the farm made stuff fries up like a pancake and don't think melts like that.

    The pierogi you have to get out of the boiling water once it floating, it means its cook already Otherwise it will become bland. I'm also a fan of pierogi and i deep it in the soy sauce with a little bit of lemon. Yummyyyy.. I'm on both side of Cheese by the way :-)

    Hi, I don't know when exactly you've been to Zakopane. Looks pretty cold, so I reckon November/ December. It is impossible to try real OSCYPEK in these moths. The real OSCYPEK is available only between May and October when sheep are in the highlands. When buying OSCYPEK shape like cheese between November and April, you are actually overpaying. Additionally, rela OSCYPEK is made of sheep milk only. I'm glad you've enjoyed your trip to Poland though.

  • @adaste154
    @adaste154 6 років тому

    You're not able to buy Oscypek from October to May, since the real oscypek is made mainly from sheeps milk and ships doesn't produce milk in this particular time. Only in the summer. What you eat is just immitation of oscypek. It's like Kobe beef vs pork. 'Same same but different' ;).
