Cirkelkaas

Cirkelkaas is the most popular cheese type in Brunant. It is produced since early 1700's, although similar cheeses were common since the 16th century. Its names derives from its circular shape.

Cirkelkaas is made from sheep's milk and has a distinctive texture. Although it is sold all over Brunant, it is generally believed that Grijzestad is its homeland. It is considered a quite healthy cheese, as it has low fat content and salinity. Cirkelkaas is semi-hard and is typically used as side dish.
