Why is Harz cheese so healthy?

The basis for Handkäse mit Musik (a type of cheese with onions and caraway seeds) is a form of Harz cheese – Handkäse. Unlike Harz cheese, this one is covered with a light layer of white mold. Handkäse, like Harz cheese, is made from sour milk and is unmistakable due to its small, round shape. Compared to other cheeses, this flavorful cheese is low in calories but high in valuable protein. So, if you're watching your fitness and figure, you can indulge without hesitation. Thanks to its high protein content, Harz cheese will keep you feeling pleasantly full for several hours.

As the name suggests, Harz cheese originally comes from the Harz Mountains. However, since it's not a protected designation of origin, the cheese can now be produced anywhere in Germany. You can find this popular cheese in every supermarket.
