Collection of sheep's milk

| — | milk for the production of the cheese is obtained from healthy sheep (sheep of races reared in mountain and foothill areas) by hand-milking in a milking pen (strunga) located in natural conditions.

When the pail (geleta) is full, its contents are strained into a milk can through a sieve containing a cotton-wool filter (the milk may also be collected mechanically in a mobile or stationary milking parlour), |

3.8.   Traditional character of the agricultural product or foodstuff:

The ‘salašnícky’ element of the cheese’s name is derived from the traditional production site, which was a shepherd’s hut (salaš). Its traditional character stems from its traditional composition, production method and processing.

As P. Huba stated in the book entitled Zázrivá, ‘Small-scale highland sheep-farming in Zázrivá was focused on the production of sheep’s milk, which was always processed in the shepherd’s home (salaš), where “ovčí hrudkový syr – salašnícky” was offered as a delicacy to people visiting the shepherd’ (Martin: Osveta. 1988).

Traditional ‘ovčí hrudkový syr salašnícky’ was produced from fresh sheep’s milk by curdling it with the aid of natural rennet (kľag) in a putera at an average temperature (of 32 °C) for 10-30 minutes. The coagulated milk was first shaken, then left to settle, and finally the curds were placed in a cheesecloth and pressed into a compact lump. The curd-filled cheesecloth was hung on a cleat, where it was left for the whey to drain off.

After draining, the lump of cheese was removed from the cloth and placed upside down onto a wooden shelf (podišiar), where it was left for several days to dry and ripen. Once ripened, the lumps of cheese were taken from the shepherd’s hut to the homes of the people who owned the sheep (Podolák Ján: Slovenský národopis 25, 1977).

In the 20th century, the production of ‘ovčí hrudkový syr salašnícky’ and ‘ovčí salašnícky údený syr’ spread throughout the mountainous areas of Slovakia where sheep were reared.

‘ovčí hrudkový syr – salašnícky’ and ‘ovčí salašnícky údený syr’ are amongst the dairy products of traditional Wallachian sheep-farming, the production of which was the main reason for rearing sheep in the mountainous regions of Slovakia. As a culinary speciality, it was used fresh (succulent-sweet) or fermented or dried, or preserved by smoking (Podolák Ján: Slovenský národopis 25, 1977).

Prokop wrote as follows in an article entitled Z histórie Ovčieho mliekárstva na Slovensku: ‘Wallachian culture is still evident in these parts owing to the carving skills of our shepherds; its influences are still to be seen in the exquisitely carved bowls (črpáky) which shepherds used’ (Slovenská spoločnosť pre racionálnu výživu, Bratislava, 1969). Heart- or duck-shaped moulds are used for ‘ovčí salašnícky údený syr’.

Dr Ján Balko, author of the publication Bryndziarsky priemysel na Slovensku, published by Osveta in 1968, made the following observation: ‘We have no precise evidence showing who produced the first sheep’s milk lump cheese here, or when they did so. However, we can safely assume that it was many centuries ago, given that, right up to 1914, the way sheep were farmed for milk did not differ much from the farming practices that existed at the time of the migration of the peoples.’

In Ovčie mliekárstvo a syrárstvo po novom it is stated that: ‘... the quality of the bryndza produced depends mainly on the quality of the “ovčí hrudkový syr salašnícky” ’ (Edícia Povereníctva SNR pre pôdohospodárstvo, Bratislava, 1966).

The name and traditional production method of ‘ovčí hrudkový syr salašnícky’ and ‘ovčí salašnícky údený syr’ were also used by shepherds from the municipality of Priechod, who worked in shepherd’s huts in the 1960s and 1970s in the Turiec region (observation made orally by Lamper, a shepherd, and Ivanič from Priechod).

P. Jasenský, a shepherd from Dolná Jaseň recalls that ‘ “Ovčí hrudkový syr – salašnícky” and “ovčí salašnícky údený syr” have been made since time immemorial, but only in small quantities, and they were used for direct consumption in shepherd’s huts or were, and are, sold to people visiting shepherd’s huts. They are traditional delicacies enjoyed by Slovaks living in mountain and foothill regions’ (Prehlásenie pána Jasenského, 1999).

3.9.   Minimum requirements and procedures to check the specific character:
