About

Pratost, or "priest's cheese", is a semi-hard cow's milk. It is wheel-shaped with a pale yellow rind covered in fine cloth and with a yellow wax coat. The origin of this cheese dates back to the 16th century when it was made by the local pastor's wife from milk that was collected as tithing. Then sold at the local market, its  popularity measured both the popularity of the priest as well as the cheesemaking skills of his wife. It has a mellow to robust sweet-sour flavor.
