Byblos Braided Chilal Cheese in Brine (1kg)

Braided cheese is a dairy product made from strips of highly elastic cheese wound together in a braid.

Syrian Akawi, Turkish Örgü peyniri and Latin American Asadero are all examples of braided cheese.

These cheeses can be used in a variety of dishes or eaten plain. Some varieties benefit from a soak in cold water, to soften the cheese, and to remove excess salt.

Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, and many Latin American nations make varieties of braided cheese.
