Obatzda in a Paulaner pub

Obatzda [ˈoːbatsdɐ] (also spelt Obazda and Obatzter)^{[citation needed]} is a Bavarian cheese delicacy. It is prepared by mixing two thirds aged soft cheese, usually Camembert ( or similar cheeses may be used as well) and one third butter.

Sweet or hot paprika powder, salt and pepper are the traditional seasonings, as well as a small amount of beer.^[1] An optional amount of onions, garlic, horseradish, cloves and ground or roasted caraway seeds may be used and some cream or cream cheese as well.^[1] The cheeses and spices are mixed together into a more or less smooth mass according to taste. It is usually eaten spread on bread or pretzels. Obatzda is a classic example of Bavarian biergarten food.^[2]

A similar Austrian/Hungarian/Slovak recipe is called Liptauer which uses fresh curd cheese as a substitute for the soft cheeses and the butter, but uses about the same spice mix.^[3]

In 2015, within the EU, obatzda was granted PGI certification.^[4]
