Oscypek is one of tourist attractions of Polish mountains. You can eat it as cold or hot (grilled and served with the cranberry). Fresh oscypek is really tasty. One can buy it early in the morning, right after the production, in shepherd&#8217;s huts, which you would come across in mountain valleys.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The first mention of cheese production in the Tatra Mountains dates back to the 15th century, in a document from the village of Ochotnica in 1416. The first recorded recipe for oscypek was issued in 1748 in the \u017bywiec area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Before Poland voted to join the European Union, some Polish Eurosceptics warned that oscypek could be banned in the EU due to its use of unpasteurized milk and its production by unlicensed farmers. No action has been taken yet against the sale or production of the cheese.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">There is also a smaller form called <strong>redyko\u0142ka<\/strong>, known as the &#8216;younger sister&#8217; of oscypek.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I really like oscypek&#8230;I wish I would be able to find it in US&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Do nast<\/strong><strong>\u0119pnego razu&#8230; <\/strong>(Till next time&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever tried oscypek &#8211; the most famous Polish cheese?
