Oscypek (Oszczypek) is an oval-shaped, smoked cheese produced in the Tatra mountains of Poland. While making this cheese using unpasteurised salted sheep's milk, some amount of cow's or goat's milk is added. The cheese is pressed into hand-carved wooden moulds with a distinct pattern and then placed near the roof in a wooden hut and cured in hot smoke for up to 14 days. The cheese has a salty flavour with a smoky aroma. To fully appreciate this cheese, it is best to accompany it with beer.
