The cheese is known for its flattened spherical shape and fluted surface. It is produced in the Podlaskie province, specifically in the municipalities of Korycin, Suchowola, and Janów. The cheese can be flavored with various spices, herbs, seeds, fruits, nuts, vegetables, and mushrooms. It is available in three maturation stages: fresh, matured, and ripe. The cheese has a mild, creamy taste with a rubbery texture when fresh, and develops a nutty flavor as it matures.
