What it is
This is a type of semi-hard cheese originating from Armenia. It is characterized by its unique stringy texture when pulled apart. The cheese is typically made from cow's milk and undergoes a brining process, which contributes to its mild, slightly salty flavor. It is often sold in braids or ropes, making it visually distinctive.
