Instructions
Begin by allowing the Camembert cheese, cream cheese, and butter to reach room temperature for easier mixing.
In a medium bowl, mash the Camembert cheese using a fork until it reaches a smooth consistency.

Stir in the sweet paprika powder, caraway seeds, and finely chopped onion, mixing well.
Season the mixture with freshly ground black pepper. You can adjust the amount based on your taste preference.
If preferred, add the low sodium beer to adjust the consistency and add a bit more flavor. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the Obazda to a serving dish and let it chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with chopped chives before serving, if using.
Serve the Low Sodium Obazda with fresh radishes, pretzels, or crusty bread as part of a delicious Bavarian-inspired snack or appetizer.
