Olomouc cheese
The cheese reached buyers through the markets of Olomouc, which is how the city's name stuck to it, while production settled up the road in Lostice, where a factory has run since the 19th century. It holds a protected European designation and is ripened from skimmed curd rather than enriched with cream.
