🧀 Savor the Tatra Mountains: Traditional Flavours You Must Try in Zakopane

When you arrive in southern Poland, the journey doesn't end at the view of the peaks — it begins with taste. The high-mountain region around Zakopane and the Tatras offers unique, rich flavours rooted in centuries of shepherding tradition. At GoTransfers.eu we'll bring you there in comfort — and send you back with memories (and maybe an extra piece of cheese!).

🐑 1. Oscypek – The Smoked Sheep's Cheese

This iconic cheese from the Podhale region is made from sheep's milk, cold-smoked over spruce or pine wood, and shaped in traditional wooden molds. Apartment in Poland+1
You'll find it grilled, served warm with cranberry jam, or sliced in mountain huts and street-markets. A true flavour of the Tatras.

🧀 2. Bundz – Fresh Mountain Cheese

Less known but just as authentic — Bundz (also called bunc) is another sheep-milk cheese, soft and milky, produced during the highland grazing season. It offers a gentle, fresh taste of the mountains. 

🧂 3. Bryndza Podhalańska – A Tangy Classic

Made from sheep's milk whey by-product, this creamy cheese bears Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status. It has a distinct flavour, often slightly spicy and salty — perfect on bread or as a unique souvenir.

🔍 Tips for tasting like a local

  • Visit street-vendors along Krupówki boulevard in Zakopane, or small mountain huts off the beaten path — that's where you'll find genuine highlander cheese. Tripadvisor

  • Try it warm: ask for "oscypek grillowany" (grilled) — served sizzling with cranberry jam.

  • Bring some back: vacuum-packed versions make travel-friendly gifts.

  • Best time: sheep grazing season is late spring to early autumn — milk quality is top then.
