A huge success!
Czech Center Museum Houston and T. G. Masaryk Czech School in Chicago just wrapped the 14th Annual Conference of Czech Schools in North America — a vibrant gathering of passionate educators and dedicated cultural leaders from across the U.S. and Canada.

Together, we shared ideas, built community, and strengthened our commitment to keeping Czech language and culture thriving. 🇨🇿

Thank you to the sponsors and CCMH team of volunteers, without whom this conference would not have been possible. Texas-Czech hospitality at its finest 💙❤️

Nakládaný Hermelín, Czech marinated cheese, is a true pub food. Hermelín is a mold-ripened cheese that hails from the charming town of Sedlčany in Czech Bohemia. It's a cousin to Camembert and Brie, so you know you're in for a treat.

This pickled cheese is found in the vibrant street pubs of Prague, where centuries of history meld with the tantalizing scents of a city that knows the true essence of comfort food. Have you tried it?

Marination: Slice the cheese and layer with onions, garlic, chili, paprika, peppercorns, and spices. The magic happens when you seal it in a jar filled with neutral oil and let it marinate in a cool, dark space for 3-5 days to 2 weeks (Avoid olive oil).

Best served with rye bread and Czech pilsner beer.🧀🍻🇨🇿
