SWEET POTATOES WITH CHEESE
Made with meticulous care for decades, Latvijas Siers is a truly exclusive cheese. Smiltenes Piens experienced artisans craft it using a special technology with red pure cultures, then mature it in a dedicated cellar to achieve its distinct flavor profile. This dedication to quality has earned Latvijas Siers high praise from the Cheese Club association and renowned chef Tomass Godiņš of Vairāk Saules restaurant. Chef Godiņš has even created several recipes featuring Latvijas Siers as an indispensable ingredient, including a mouthwatering dish of oven-baked sweet potatoes with nuts and watercress.
