[[File:Hermelín.jpg|thumb|{{PAGENAME}}]]<br>'''Hermelín''' is a type of [[Czech cheese]] that is similar to [[Camembert]]. It is a soft, white, [[mold-ripened cheese]] that is typically aged for a few weeks. Hermelín is often served marinated in oil and spices, or grilled or fried. It is a popular choice for [[cheese platters]] and is often paired with [[wine]].

== History ==

Hermelín cheese originated in the [[Czech Republic]], where it has been produced for centuries. It is named after the German word for ermine, a type of weasel, due to its white color and soft texture.

== Production ==

Hermelín is made from [[cow's milk]]. The milk is pasteurized and then inoculated with [[Penicillium candidum]], a type of mold that gives the cheese its characteristic white rind. The cheese is then aged for several weeks until it develops its soft, creamy texture.

== Taste and Texture ==

Hermelín has a mild, creamy flavor with a slight tang. The texture is soft and spreadable, similar to [[Brie]] or Camembert. The rind is edible and adds a slight mushroom flavor to the cheese.

== Serving Suggestions ==

Hermelín can be served in a variety of ways. It is often marinated in oil and spices, or grilled or fried. It can also be served on a cheese platter with fruits, nuts, and bread. Hermelín pairs well with a variety of wines, including [[Chardonnay]], [[Pinot Noir]], and [[Cabernet Sauvignon]].
