"Handkäs mit Musik is a traditional German dish from the Rhine-Main region and the neighboring areas in Hesse, Rhine-Hesse and the Palatinate. It's a must-try for every cheese lover! The sour milk cheese is marinated with the onion-vinegar mix overnight and delivers each flavor of the quick pickle. In this recipe you'll have this special cheese with the flavors of vinegar, apple juice and caraway seeds coming together. It's a great appetizer for dinner parties, or a new classic for a fresh, cheesy picnic. You can also include it in your next charcuterie board to see how well it plays out."
