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.
