Bulgarian Cow Feta Cheese

Beyaz Peynir is the most popular cheese in Turkey. Beyaz Peynir, which translates to “white cheese” in English, is a brined and aged cheese made from cow`s milk with a taste that reminiscent Feta. A pantry staple in most Turkish households, this delicious tangy cheese is normally enjoyed from morning through evening, starting at breakfast, in savory and sweet phyllo-wrapped pastries and always on Meze platters. Sutdiyari Piknik White Cheese is made with pure (cow, sheep and/or goat`s milk) and brined and aged to perfection. With a delicate, crumbly texture and milky, slightly salty flavor, our Piknik White Cheese is a wonderful way to add Mediterranean flare to salads, omelets, roasted veggies and pastas. Enjoy warm on flatbread with fresh tomatoes, oregano and olive oil. Or try it with fig jam, walnuts and a drizzle of honey. In Turkey, Beyaz Peynir is a classic component of Menemen, a lightly scrambled egg dish made with tomatoes, green peppers, chilies, white cheese and olive oil. Once you try Sutdiyari Piknik White Cheese, the culinary possibilities for this delicious cheese will inspire you. Because brined white cheese is low in fat and a rich source of probiotics, calcium and protein, you can feel great about incorporating it into your diet.

Valbreso feta is a cheese that defies convention. Most people know this crumbly, white, sheep’s milk feta, as a traditionally Greek cheese. However, it can be found all across the mediterranean region – much like olives and olive oils – with different nuances. This particular cheese comes from the South of France, and is made from the milk left over from Roquefort production, that smooth and delicious blue cheese. Valbreso is moist and creamy, with a rich flavor that is well-balanced in salt (unlike most commercial varieties, that are dry and salty), and is milder than most Greek fetas. This is definitely one of those cheese that will make you rethink good old feta! This cheese is great on its own, as a snacking cheese, but can also be used in salads, especially with tomatoes and olive oil. Bring to room temperature before serving. Pair with your favorite white wine blend.

This pale golden-yellow cheese has a full bodied yet pleasant and light aroma that falls between Kasseri and Kefalotiri in hardness, but with a more sharp and salty taste. Kefalograviera makes a tasty impression when grated into pasta, souces, pies, as well as meat and poultry dishes. It is great when paired with bread and home-made jam, and is exceptionally delicious when fried to make Saganaki cheese.
