I’m not much of a cheese eater. My favourite dairy product is actually cottage cheese. Growing up back home cheese was never a big part of my diet either. However, there was a type of cheese that I would always eat on the summer solstice celebration day along with the majority of people celebrating it in Latvia. The classic Latvian caraway seed flavoured cheese made specifically for this celebration. It is called 'Jāņu siers' in Latvian.
This type of cheese is available throughout the year in pretty much any shop, but during the midsummer festival it is most popular along with plenty of beer!
There are various recipes and methods to make it and I’m not going to claim that this is the ‘correct’ one. To be fair I could not care if it is or not. This is a super quick and simple recipe that my mother showed me while I was visiting her in the summer. It works great, it’s super tasty, soft, and moist. And it is the perfect introduction to homemade cheese.
