IIRC (and I admit memory is poor on this one), butterkase is a hard rind
cheese similar in shape to provolone. There is a square of butter in the
center of the cheese. It allows one to keep butter for extended periods
without refrigeration. The technique was developed for the Hanseatic trade.
I haven't seen any for years and I may have put the wrong name to it.
