Luxemburg cheese

Snapshots from ITB 2013, Luxemburg Pavilion

Before attending the ITB Berlin, I did not know anything about the special cheese from Luxemburg. After a couple of hours of intensive reading the secrets of this cheese are not revealed yet, but at least I know more about the general context. 

Situated between France and Germany, the cuisine of Luxemburg mixes both the French and the German influences. There are a couple of meat products very similar to the German ones. Especially the wines are strongly influenced by the Riesling style of the German neighbors.

As for the cheese, the most famous is kachkeis, a combination of brie and camembert, based on cow milk. It is a simple and good taste, that it is always pleasant to combine with a glass of white wine.
