The world of cheeses is diverse and offers a wide range of flavors. Very popular are, for example, mature cheeses, including the only originally Czech cheese - Olomouc tvarůžky.

There are thousands of types of cheeses that differ in processing and consistency. One of the favorite categories is ripened cheeses that undergo a maturing process. During this period, complex biochemical processes affecting the taste, aroma, and texture of the cheese take place. Ripened cheeses require special care because their quality is constantly evolving and depends on temperature, humidity, and the type of culture. A typical representative of ripened cheeses is Olomoucké tvarůžky.

The entire process of producing Olomoucké tvarůžky is under strict control. From selecting the highest quality raw materials to final packaging, it undergoes careful supervision to ensure that it reaches customers in the best quality. “We can only guarantee the quality of Olomoucké tvarůžky until we pass them on to the next links in the distribution chain. To maintain the quality of the cheese, it is essential to adhere to the correct temperature conditions during transportation, sales, and storage in the household of the end customer, which is in the range of 4-8°C,” warned Rastislav Mikuška, quality manager of A. W company, the manufacturer of tvarůžky under the Olomoucké tvarůžky brand.

Tvarůžky mature in symmetrical layers from the surface to the center, which affects their taste and consistency. They are ideal for consumption at various stages of ripeness. “Olomoucké tvarůžky are a living product that is constantly evolving. Therefore, it is important that they are stored under specified conditions. Only then can they maintain their characteristic taste and creamy texture,” stated Rastislav Mikuška.

More than three weeks before the best before date (BBD), Olomoucké tvarůžky become firmer and have a distinct curd-like core, which is ideal for those who prefer a milder taste and firmer consistency. Approximately two weeks before the BBD, a more pronounced creaminess develops, and the taste becomes more intense. One week before the BBD, tvarůžky reach their highest degree of ripeness, are fully matured to the core, have a spicier taste, and a softer texture.

Olomoucké tvarůžky are rich in proteins and calcium and have a low energy value due to their low fat content. They are ideal for a healthy lifestyle and, thanks to their unique taste, provide an exceptional gastronomic experience.
