Liptauer Cheese Spread Recipe - Hungarian Korozott Juhturo

Liptauer is a soft, unripened cheese made from sheep's milk that comes from Lipto in what is now Liptov in northern Slovakia. The word Liptauer has become synonymous with the spread it is made with.
Romanian brindza, or a combination of farmers, cottage or cream cheese and sour cream can be used in place of Liptauer.
Liptauer cheese spread is typically eaten as an appetizer or snack with dark rye bread, radishes, hard-cooked eggs, green onions, green pepper and beer. Hungarians, Czechs, Austrians and some Scandinavians all claim it as their own.
Makes about 1 cup Liptauer Cheese Spread - Korozott Juhturo

1/2 pound Liptauer or brindza or farmers cheese at room temperature
