BurztyNova Restaurant, tucked right into the heart of Warsaw's bustling center city belongs to one of the largest dairies in Poland, which produces long-aged cheeses like Bursztyn, Szafir and Rubin (the first long-ripened cheeses in the country). With a production process that includes milk from local farms, aging from three months to three years, and a three-day brine bath, the creation of these cheeses is an intense, manual undertaking.
And the results show in the flavors: robust, strong and delicious tastes that wash over your palate. Bursztyn has a specific spicy flavor while Szafir is more floral with hints of mango, and Rubin gives off a distinct buttery taste that is a perfect accent to all kinds of food and wine.
Speaking of -- the offerings don't stop at these delicious cheeses. This restaurant aims to give you the full cheese experience, meaning they have excellent pairings of wine, preserved jams, delicate honeys, and bitter or sweet chocolate, all of which accentuate the flavors of these incredible cheeses. The menu goes on to include recipies that combine cheese in hot dishes, pastas, sauces, appetizers and more. Taste a jucy fall-off-the-bone cut of meat topped with lightly grated cheese, or a bed of perfectly roasted vegetables topped with a light mozzarella, or fresh greens accented with delicate cheese and a rich sauce. It's all here!
One of the main goals of BursztyNova is to educate diners on cheese, from production to taste and beyond. Visit not just for flavors that will linger on your tongue, but also information you can take away with you! Employees can tell you the difference between aged cheeses, what the crystals mean in mature cheeses, how to shell cheese (and why it's better than slicing) and tons more information.
