Bundz



Bundz (bundz) or budz (будз), also known as bunc in the Podhale dialect, is a cheese traditionally produced in the Carpathian region of Poland and Ukraine.

The production process of bundz in the first phase looks the same as the production of oscypek. The milk poured into the "putara" is hagged, which means that the protein is truncated by enzymes contained in rennet, extracted from the stomachs of young calves. The resulting cheese curd is then brewed for a few minutes at a temperature of about 70 °C. The cheese is strained on the canvas in the form of large lumps. A mild cheese is obtained.

The drink żętyca is also produced from the whey created in bundz production.
