Kőszeg is a veined cheese from Hétumoger that is made from whole milk from a cow, specifically one originating from the Kőszeg County within the Kékes District. Kőszeg is produced initially as a wheel, with either a crumbly exterior or a firm, dense exterior. Kőszeg can be used in a creamy, spreadable form with a crumbly exterior. Kőszeg can be crumbled or sliced when it has a firmer exterior. Kőszeg is one of the most notable part of Hétumogerian cuisine and a staple of Lushyod cuisine.
Kőszeg itself has different variations that modify the original recipe with substitutes of different kinds.
