Mihaliç Peyniri
Mihaliç Peyniri is a traditional Turkish cheese made from sheep's milk, or a mixture of sheep and cow's milk. It is named after the town of Mihaliç in the Balıkesir Province of Turkey, where it was first produced.
History[edit | edit source]
The production of Mihaliç Peyniri dates back to the Ottoman Empire, making it one of the oldest known types of cheese in Turkey. It was traditionally made by shepherds using the milk of their own flocks. Today, it is still produced in small quantities in the traditional way, but most Mihaliç Peyniri is made in larger dairies.
Production[edit | edit source]
The production process of Mihaliç Peyniri involves heating the milk to a specific temperature, adding rennet to coagulate the milk, and then cutting the curd into small pieces. The curd is then heated again, drained, and pressed into molds. The cheese is then aged for a period of time, which can vary from a few weeks to several months.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Mihaliç Peyniri is a semi-hard cheese with a slightly crumbly texture. It has a strong, tangy flavor that becomes more pronounced as the cheese ages. It is often used in cooking, particularly in traditional Turkish dishes such as börek and pide.
