Nieheimer

Nieheimer is a sour milk cheese made using cow's milk and named after Nieheim, a town in Höxter district in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

[1][2] After this time, the cakes are broken down into smaller pieces, salt and caraway seeds are added, and the pieces are then covered with straw while drying.

[1] Milk or beer is also sometimes added at this time.

[1] After being flavored, the cheese is then placed into casks that are packed with layers of hops and further ripened.

[4] It is a firm cheese that may even be hard at times, has a "yellowish to gray-green" colored rind, has a 28% fat content, and is sometimes purveyed covered with hop leaves.
