Golot cheese

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Golot Cheese is a traditional cheese originating from the Croatian island of Krk. It is a hard, sheep's milk cheese, known for its unique flavor and texture.

History[edit | edit source]

Golot Cheese has a long history on the island of Krk. The cheese is made using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. The cheese is named after the Golot bora, a strong wind that blows across the island and is believed to give the cheese its distinctive flavor.

Production[edit | edit source]

The production of Golot Cheese begins with the milking of the island's indigenous sheep. The milk is then heated and rennet is added to cause coagulation. The curds are cut, heated, and pressed into molds. The cheese is then aged for a minimum of 60 days, during which it develops its characteristic flavor and texture.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Golot Cheese is a hard cheese with a crumbly texture. It has a strong, distinctive flavor that is slightly salty and tangy. The cheese is typically served sliced and is often paired with wine or used in cooking.
