Off topic but which Eastern European cheese did you find that you like? The only ones I even saw sold outside its are of origin were usually underwhelming. I’m originally from central/Eastern Europe and know very small and local producers but I’m really interested in what you found you can buy in your area.

I have no idea how to pronounce it, but one I really like is I think a braided and smoked cheese like this one: https://dks22p812qygs.cloudfront.net/UserFiles/ib_product/14...

The other that I really like looks a bit like this: http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0250/1387/8893/products/Arr... but I think that it's younger than the one here.

I have no doubts that the local ones are probably way better, but I still haven't taken the time to visit Eastern/Central Europe.

the first one is called Korbaciky (found in Slovakia/Poland) https://st4.depositphotos.com/1046564/41431/i/1600/depositph...

There are both un-smoked and smoked variants, different shapes etc. I think the traditional is the braided one. Definitely recommended if you ever visit Orava/Tatras.
