Handkäse Handkäse is a sour curd cheese that belongs to the oldest kinds of cheeses. Traditionally, it was produced in home kitchens - when milk curdled and got thick, the curds were removed and formed into small rolls by hand. This is where the name "Hand Cheese" came from. Once formed, they were then placed next to a warm stove to dry and ripen.
