Homemade Suluguni
Description
Perfect with meals and drinks. There are many varieties of this cheese: its flavor can be mild with a soft texture, or, conversely, the cheese can be hard with a pronounced salty taste. It can be served as an appetizer or used to prepare other dishes, for example, for baking, for casseroles. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
