Liptauer or Liptov cheese is a Slovak dish of spiced, white cheese made from a mixture of sheep's and cow's milk. It is also used in Hungarian cuisine and Austrian cuisine. Its name is derived from the German word for the region of Liptov in Slovakia (Liptau in German, before 1918 part of the Kingdom of Hungary). In Austria, it is a typical snack served at a Heuriger. In the province of Trieste in Italy, the cheese is also known as Spuma di formaggio all'ungherese (English: Cheese mousse in the Hungarian style).[1]

Liptauer is made from bryndza (brimsen), a Slovak salty cheese made from sheep's milk (Topfen/Quark is sometimes used as a substitute). The cheese is sieved and mixed with an equal quantity of softened, beaten butter. Salt, pepper, paprika, caraway, capers, mustard and chives (all finely chopped) are added, and this is mixed to form a cream. Some recipes also include chopped onion. Liptauer may be spread on bread or used as a dip.
