Since 2010, 'Olomoucké tvarůžky' has been registered as a Protected Geographical Indication by the European Union.[2]

In 2016, a shop in Loštice began producing a variety of ice cream based on the cheese.[3]

History

The first written mention of this cheese dates back to the 15th century.[4] Olomoucké tvarůžky was eaten by Emperor Rudolf II. Until the 19th century, Olomoucké tvarůžky was produced in the villages surrounding Olomouc, and was generally regarded as a peasant food. It was at this time that the cheese began to be referred to as Olomouc cheese. The A. W. Company has been making this cheese since 1876.[5] There is a small museum devoted to the cheese at the A. W. Company production plant in Loštice.

gollark: Installing Lapis off LuaRocks seems to bring in an old version of `pgmoon` which requires `luabitop` which doesn't work beyond 5.2, is there a way to make LuaRocks pull directly off the git repository or something?
gollark: Huh. This does *also* look asynchronous. I guess I can probably deal with it being mildly less efficient, I don't need massive throughput.
gollark: I'm mostly just looking at options right now, wasn't aware there was a non-OpenResty way to use Lapis.
gollark: There seem to be some Lua SQLite3 bindings, but I worry that those would ruin performance because of not fitting into the non-blocking-IO thing.
gollark: Hi! Is there a way to use SQLite idiomatically with Lapis? I'm looking at using it for a thing.
