KESIDIS, Chechil, Brined String Cheese, 200g-310g (Best before 13/06/2026)

Chechil is a brined string cheese, popular in Armenia and Georgia. 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 of the Russian Empire before the Russian Civil War mainly included the Greek communities of Mariupol and the Pontic communities of Georgia and the Caucasus. It has a consistency approximating that of mozzarella or sulguni and is produced in the form of dense strings. Chechil is a braided, salty, string-cheese beer snack that is enjoyed by beer drinkers and enthusiasts across the globe. Chechil is made from pasteurized cow milk and is low in fat. Its taste is salty, very chewy, and with a smoky flavor to it. Its consistency is firm and smooth. The cheese has a yellow colour with a golden-brown crust and a hole in the middle.
