Traditional sheep cheese - BRYNDZA - is a soft salted, fermented sheep cheese produced from raw, unpasteurized sheep's milk on sheep farms in the mountains or in bryndza-plants. It is prepared in Eastern Europe, especially in Slovakia, and its production dates back to the 18th century. Bryndza has medicinal properties, which have been clinically proven. It has about twice the amount of calcium than cow's milk, of a higher absorbency, and therefore, favorably influences osteoporosis.
