Balkan Cheese

Balkan cheese is a white brined cheese made from sheep's milk, cow's milk, or a blend of both. Originating from the Balkan region, it has a firm, crumbly texture and a distinctly salty flavour. In the kitchen, it is widely used in salads, where it pairs beautifully with vegetables, tomatoes, and olives. It also works well as a filling for savoury pies and pastries, on toast, or as part of various appetisers. Due to its saltiness, dishes prepared with it usually require no additional seasoning. It resembles Greek feta but differs in production method and flavour profile.
