Taste & texture

This is the ripe version of our Ossetian cheese: it rests longer in brine, so it becomes firmer, denser and more pronounced in flavor. Expect a fuller, saltier taste with a pleasant tang — the kind of cheese that stands out on a cheese board and gives baked dishes a deeper flavor.

Ideas to try

• Thinly sliced with fresh tomatoes, herbs and flatbread
• Grated into homemade Ossetian pies or khachapuri
• Crumbled over roasted vegetables or potatoes

Good to know

If it tastes too salty for you, soak a piece in cold water or milk for an hour before serving. Prefer something milder? Try our slightly salty Ossetian brynza.
