Nicas Siers

The Nīca cheese dairy is based at the Birzmaļi farm, one of the largest milk producers in the Lower Kurzeme region. Cheeses:

• Fresh cheese – a mozzarella-style fresh cheese available with a range of additions, including caraway seeds, basil and paprika, as well as other carefully selected flavour combinations.
• Semi-hard cheese – made using a Dutch cheesemaking method, giving it a mild, slightly sweet flavour and an elastic texture. The cheese is matured for between four and twelve months.
• Hard cheese – made to a recipe rooted in Italian cheesemaking traditions. It has a pronounced flavour and character and is aged for either six or twelve months, developing a rich and nuanced flavour profile.
