Liptauer is a seasoned cheese spread from Hungary, sold in pots and also mixed at home. Soft white curd cheese is blended with sweet paprika, onion, and warm spices until the paste turns rosy orange. The result is not a wheel and it has no rind. It is a spoonable mixture meant for bread and raw vegetables. In Hungarian cooking the same spread is widely known as körözött, and paprika is the flavor people expect first.

Obatzda is a soft cheese spread from Germany, best known as a Bavarian beer-garden specialty. It is made from ripe cow's milk cheese, usually a soft bloomy cheese, mashed with butter and seasonings. Paprika gives the mixture a warm orange color. Onions, salt, pepper, and often caraway or a splash of beer go into the bowl. The result is a spread, not a wheel with a rind.
