The term "hand [[cheese]]" comes from the traditional manufacturing method in which the [[cheese]] is shaped by hand.  It is produced by the coagulation of fresh [[milk]] with the help of calf [[rennet]]. It is related to [[Camembert]] and [[German German Münster cheese cheese]] but has a less strong aroma.  However, it still has a strong taste.  It is matured for 14 days.

While this type of [[cheese]] was once produced by several dairies in the Odenwald, today only the Hüttenthal dairy in Mossautal is the only one that produces it.  This traditional outlet is limited to a range of around 80 km. The name comes from an old tradition which was to consume the [[cheese]] after the morning milking as a breakfast snack.  In southern Hesse, it is known as "Handkasse mit Musik" (Hand [[cheese]] with music)
