The appetizer is quick and easy to prepare. Here is a simple recipe for making Chechil cheese at home. The cheese is made from milk mixed with rennet. After all the necessary steps, the cheese becomes elastic and then needs to be salted in a special brine (salt + water). The finished cheese is the perfect snack with beer! Good luck
