Abertamy is one of the signature cheeses produced by Horský Statek Abertamy, created as the farm’s modern interpretation of the historic Abertamský sýr traditionally associated with the Ore Mountains region of the Czech Republic. While the original historical recipe from earlier centuries has not survived in a documented form, the producer draws inspiration from this strong regional cheesemaking heritage and reimagines it through contemporary farmstead production.

The cheese is made in the farm’s own creamery in Abertamy using milk from animals raised in the surrounding mountain environment, which plays an important role in shaping its identity. Its production reflects the farm’s ecological philosophy, centered on natural ingredients, careful small-scale processing, and minimal intervention.

The mountainous terroir of Krušné hory, with its herb-rich grazing areas and clean environment, contributes to the character of the milk and ultimately the cheese itself. Rather than positioning Abertamy as an industrial reproduction of a historic cheese, the producer presents it as an authentic continuation of local food culture through its own craftsmanship.

The result is a cheese closely tied to place, tradition, and the farm’s broader commitment to regional food production. Within the Horský Statek Abertamy portfolio, it stands as both a culinary product and a symbolic reference to the cheesemaking legacy of this Czech mountain region.
