Parenica

Parenica is a traditional Slovak, Hungarian (Parenyica) and Polish cheese.

Parenica is a semi-firm, non-ripening, semi-fat, steamed and usually smoked cheese, although a non-smoked version is also produced.

Parenica is cream and yellow in color, which is darkened by steaming.

The cheese is produced in strips, which are woven into snail-like spirals.
