I am new to the forum, my interests are cheese and bread making at home.
I started my cheese making hobby about a year ago. Photos of my cheeses, at my site: http://przepisynadomowyserichleb.blogspot.com

Is anybody from Poland here?

Sorry for my English, it's not very good.
Greetings for all!

Welcome Jacek!  I love your website and all of your home made delights.  All very impressive and I will be stealing some of your bread recipes!

Thanks, you can steal them    I recommend bagels, more popular in the USA, although derived from Poland.
Don't you have problems with the Polish language ?

Welcome to the forum Jack and nice job creating your web site. Question my son lives in Warsaw and a couple of years back we went to Krakow, at the farmers market and got a fresh cheese with black seed in it. Do you think it would be similar to the Robiola on your web site?

Thanks John

I think, these black seed is nigella  (black cumin).  This cheese could it be Korycinski cheese. It is a soft,  not pressed farmers cheese made from cow's milk.  https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ser_koryciński
I haven't tried the original Italian Robiola , so I can't compare.

That could be it I will have to try making some.

Welcome Jack. Great web site!!  As for the Polish language, Google translate will translate the entire page with the click of a button.  Makes a few errors but you can usually fill those in yourself.  Look forward to your contributions to the community.

Poland  hasn't  got such a long tradition of cheese production as some European countries. The beginnings of making cheese had their roots in the mountains, among shepherds. Shepherds living high in the mountains, began to stock up for winter, making dry or smoked cheeses.
The most famous Polish mountain cheeses are:

Throughout the country very popular is cottage cheese from cow's milk:
