Bryndza Podhalańska is a soft sheep's milk cheese from the Podhale region of Poland. Shepherds make it from the milk of mountain flocks, and the paste is white, cream, or sometimes faintly green. It is salty, lightly sour, and strong enough to taste of the pasture. The cheese is spreadable and a little grainy, not a firm wheel you cut into neat tiles. Sheep's milk is the heart of it, and that milk gives the sharp, savory smell.

- Traditionally produced in Podhale
Bundz is a fresh sheep's milk cheese from Poland, traditionally produced in Podhale. It is the soft white curd that highland dairies lift from the vat before later cheeses are shaped or heavily salted. The taste is mild, milky, and a little sweet, closer to a tender farmer's cheese than to a smoked wedge. The body is moist and slightly springy, and a very fresh piece may squeak gently. Bunc is a local name for the same cheese.
