Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the white vinegar, salt, and caraway seeds if using.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then transfer it to a food processor or blender.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or vinegar if desired.
Pour the Schmierkaese into a serving dish or airtight container and allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Serve the Schmierkaese cheese spread with your favorite bread, crackers, or vegetables.
