Árovkách

Árovkách is a traditional Czech dish consisting of a mixture of various types of cheese, typically served as an appetizer or snack. The name "árovkách" is derived from the Czech word "áry," which means "cheese," and "kách," meaning "little cakes" or "bites."

The dish is prepared by mixing together several types of Czech cheeses, such as Edam, Gouda, and other local varieties. The cheeses are usually grated or cubed and then combined with a small amount of flour or breadcrumbs to bind them together. The mixture is then shaped into small, bite-sized pieces, often resembling small cakes or croquettes.

Árovkách is typically seasoned with salt and pepper, and sometimes other herbs or spices. The cheese mixture is then fried in butter or oil until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside, while remaining soft and melty on the inside.

The dish is often served as a snack or appetizer, accompanied by beer or other alcoholic beverages. It is also a popular ingredient in various Czech dishes, such as árovkách s bramborami (árovkách with potatoes) and árovkách s uzeným (árovkách with smoked meat).

Árovkách is a beloved Czech delicacy, known for its rich, creamy flavor and satisfying texture. It is a popular dish at Czech festivals and celebrations, and is often served at social gatherings and family reunions. The dish is also a popular export, with many Czech restaurants and food shops offering árovkách to international customers.
