Altenburger goat cheese is a local specialty . U. It is registered in the EU under this name as a protected designation of origin and may be awarded the corresponding seal.

The varieties range from cream cheese to soft and mold cheese to hard cheese . The aroma ranges from mild and creamy to strong and aromatic.
