Korbáčik (In Slovak IPA: [korbaːt͡ʃik]) Kôroboce (In Goralic IPA : [kuɔrbɔce]) is a type of semi-hard or medium hard string cheese. It originates from the Orava region of northern Slovakia and South Poland as well as many other Goralic Regions . It is made from smoked cheese interwoven into fine braids. The name roughly translates to "little whip" which refers to the pattern woven onto the strings.
Content[]
There are two main variants of the Korbáčik, the smoked and the un-smoked.[1] In addition to these, it is not uncommon to produce salty variants, as well as with garlic. The basis for the production is milk, either from cow or from sheep.[2]
