Trapist is a semi-hard fat cheese made of cow's milk, with a slightly sour flavour and a pleasant, moderately pronounced smell.
Rind has the colour of straw, it is elastic and smooth, while
the body is covered with few evenly distributed holes. This supreme
cheese is an ideal component of any cheese platter; it is
recommended to be paired with dried fruits, grapes, a glass of
white wine or to be enjoyed alone with a piece of bread.
Trapist is available in 500 g and 2 kg packages.
The story of origin
History of trappist started in the 17th century in the
Cistercian Abbey of Notre Dame de la Trappe in the French province
of Normandy. As the monks travelled throughout Europe and
established new monasteries, they brought along the recipe for
production of this cheese. Trappist arrived to our area thanks to
the monks of Marija Zvijezda monastery near Banja Luka, from which
it spread to the Bjelovar-Podravina area as well.
Trapist is a proud holder of the prestigious "Croatian
Quality" label.
