Best Nakládaný hermelín in Prague

**Nakládaný hermelín** is a classic Czech pub snack consisting of Camembert-style cheese (*Hermelín*) marinated in oil with garlic, onions, chili peppers, and a blend of spices. After several days of marinating, the cheese becomes exceptionally creamy and pungent, with the oil absorbing the heat and aromatics of the peppers. It is always served with a thick slice of dark Czech bread to soak up the spicy oil. The mark of a great Hermelín is the "ripeness" of the cheese—it should be soft enough to spread like butter but still hold its shape. It is the perfect, sharp-flavored companion to the bitterness of a local pilsner.
