Kachkéis

Origin: Luxembourg
Kachkéis

Kachkéis is a runny cooked cheese from Luxembourg made from cow’s milk. It is pale beige in colour and characterised by a distinctive thick and stretchy texture. It has a unique strong flavour, but is not overpowering, and comes in different flavours such as plain, with garlic, or herbs.

Kachkéis can be eaten with a leafy salad, over warm potatoes, with vegetables or meat, or simply spread on some toasted crusty bread.

Kachkéis was traditionally a sausage-shaped cheese that was bought uncooked, then prepared at home by melting it with milk or cream and refined with different herbs or white wine. But nowadays, cooked and ready-to-eat Kachkéis can be found in all supermarkets and cheesemongers in Luxembourg.
