About Bavarian Obatzda

German Foods presents Obazda as a traditional Bavarian beer-garden spread. This selected recipe combines Allgäu Camembert with cream cheese, butter and onion, retaining the publisher’s dark-beer option.

Ripe cheese brings a savoury tang, softened by butter and cream cheese. Paprika, salt and pepper season the mixture, while raw onion adds a sharper aromatic note.

The spread is creamy with small pieces remaining from the mashed cheese and chopped onion. Onion rings garnish the top, and pretzels are the selected optional bread pairing.
