Obatzda · Munich
Bavarian beer-garden cheese spread: ripe Camembert mashed with butter, paprika, onion and caraway. Served with radishes, pretzels and Brezn.
Obatzda was invented in 1920 by Katharina Eisenreich at the Bräustüberl Weihenstephan in Freising, using overripe Camembert that could not be served as a cheese course. The mixture, spiced with paprika and caraway, became a standard beer-garden Brotzeit (snack plate) item across Bavaria and is now sold at every Munich beer-garden and Wirtshaus.
