Roast beef sandwich
This recipe is from Salvatore Russo, chef at the Hafenkäserei in Münster. At the organic show dairy you can not only experience how cheese is made, but also feast in the restaurant, including many organic dishes. The kitchen team mainly uses regional and seasonal ingredients, which is why the cheese dairy has been awarded the Münsterland seal.
