KESIDIS, Smoked Suluguni Cheese, 305g – 370g, (Best before 16/05/2026)

Smoked Sulguni, is a semi-firm, brined Georgian cheese made from the milk of cow and buffalo or a mixture of these kinds of milk in the Svaneti and Samegrelo regions. It is moderately salty, with a rustic, smokey flavour and a pleasant aftertaste. The texture of this Georgian cheese is dense and elastic. The cheese has a yellow colour with a golden-brown crust and a hole in the middle. This cheese was prepared for us by the Pontic Greeks – an ethnic group of Greeks, descendants of people from the historical region of Pontus in the Black Sea region. The Greek diaspora that time mainly included the Greek communities of Mariupol and the Pontic communities of Georgia and the Caucasus. Used widely in Eastern European and Georgian cuisines, Sulugni’s melting quality makes it a perfect accompaniment to almost any dish. It is eaten simply as a table cheese or added to salads, antipasto, marinades with oil and herbs or any other dish that requires a melting cheese. In fact, it is the perfect pizza cheese!
