Jāņu siers is a traditional Latvian cheese made to celebrate the summer solstice, known as Jāņi. This cheese is typically made from curdled milk and is often flavored with caraway seeds, giving it a distinct taste. It is usually shaped into a round form and has a firm texture, making it suitable for slicing. During the Jāņi festival, families often prepare this cheese as part of their festive meals. Jāņu siers is not only enjoyed on its own but is also commonly served with bread and other accompaniments, symbolizing the joy and abundance of the summer season.
