Greater Poland fried cheese: aged farmer's cheese melted slowly with butter, caraway and a pinch of soda until smooth, then poured into a dish and chilled to slice and spread on rye bread.

Ser smażony is a peasant cheese-preservation technique from Greater Poland that pre-dates refrigeration: aged cheese curd was melted with butter to extend shelf life into the cold months. The Poznań version carries Protected Geographical Indication application in the regional rural-products scheme. It is still made in farmhouses around the Wielkopolska countryside and sold at Rynek Jeżycki and the Stary Browar food hall. Eaten on rye bread with a dab of mustard.
