Braided cheese

Braided cheese is a distinctive and delectable dairy treat made by twisting strips of pliable cheese into an intricate braid. It's a favorite in regions such as Turkey, Armenia, Lebanon, Syria, and several Latin American countries. You can savor braided cheese on its own or use it to enhance a variety of dishes.

Occasionally, braided cheese can be quite salty, but a brief soak in cold water can soften it and reduce its saltiness. Some popular varieties of braided cheese include Syrian Akawi, Turkish Örgü peyniri, and Latin American Asadero. Whether you're snacking or cooking, braided cheese adds a delightful and flavorful twist to your menu!
