Banosh is one of the most popular Hutsul dishes in Ukraine.

Banosh as cheese for centuries prepared exclusively by men, because the sheep and everything connected with it - it is the male. Hutsuls say: what is served in restaurants or bars, the fact that they cook at home on the stove, call the banosh a sin. After all, the real banosh prepare on fire to smoke and smelled the fire picked up.
