3 New Ways with Hermelín

1/ Slice each cheese round in half and carefully scoop out the soft inside so only the rind is left. In a small bowl, mix the cheese with onion, half of the dill, carraway, softened butter, half of the garlic, chili powder, and black pepper to taste. 2/ Fill each hollowed-out hermelín with the cheese mixture and reassemble into 4 whole pieces. Place in a jar with a wide opening, cover with the oil, and seal the lid. Carefully shake the jar to coat the hermelin with oil. Open the jar and sprinkle in the remaining dill and garlic and the peperoncini. 3/ Reseal the jar and place in the refrigerator for 2-2 1/2 weeks. Serve sprinkled with fresh dill.

1/ Slice each hermelín into three rounds. Lay the cheese on a flat surface. Rub each slice with the spice mix and drizzle with 1-2 teaspoons of red wine. Cover each slice with a layer of marmalade, top with a sprig of rosemary, and reassemble the rounds. Insert two toothpicks through the hermelín so that it stays firm. 2/ Place the cheeses, one by one, into a jar with a wide opening, topping each round with peppers until the jar is filled. Surround hermelín with remaining baked peppers. Cover with sunflower oil. Seal the jar and let the cheese marinade for 3 days in the refrigerator and 3 days at room temperature.  
3/ Serve in the center of a plate surrounded by golden melon slices that have been sprinkled with salt and pepper.

  1/ Slice cheese rounds in half. Rub one side of each with the curry paste and stack in a jar with a wide opening. Cover with sunflower oil and sprinkle with onion, garlic, bay leaves, and new spice.   2/ Seal with the lid and refrigerate for 9 days. On the tenth day, remove from the fridge and let stand at room temperature for 1-2 days, keeping out of direct sunlight. 3/ Now the hermelín enters the next level! Remove a wedge (as pictured), sprinkle with a generous dusting of turmeric, and a side of cherry tomatoes to approximate the classic Japanese arcade game Pac-Man.
