Today I show you my Original Obazda Recipe.
The Bavarian cheese preparation Obatzter also appears in the spelling Obatzda or Obazda.
The “Angebatzter, Angedrückter, Vermischter” cheese has a long tradition in Bavaria.
In Franconia the spicy cheese is called “Gerupfter” or “Angemachter”, in Switzerland “Gmanschter”.
A bit of history about the famous cheese:
According to various sources, the landlady Katharina Eisenreich served the obazden for the first time in the Weihenstephaner Bräustüberl in Freising in the 1920s.
Many tourists know Obazda from the Oktoberfest.
In the article I show the preparation of Bavarian Obazda according to my family recipe.
The Obazda goes well with a good snack.
Other delicious vegetarian spreads, such as herb quark, Liptauer, potato cheese and vegan lard also bring variety to your evening meal.

3. Tips for Making Obatzda Yourself
The cheese used to be made from cheese leftovers, you can combine different types and refine with paprika and caraway seeds to taste.
In general, ripened Camembert is ideal:
Just let the cheese mature in the fridge for a few days longer before preparing it!
The beer is the most important ingredient for me.
The Bavarian beer in combination with caraway, paprika and onion gives the original flavor.
