- ↑ Green cheese, zielony ser, is a historical preparation of cheese, which involved reconstituting grated dry cheese mixed with horseradish leaf, fenugreek, and cream. It would be pressed and air-dried over a period of 1-2 weeks. By the late 19th century, it could be bought ready-made at delicatessens. There is no modern equivalent.
