Suluguni is a pickled Georgian cheese from the Samegrelo region. It has a sour,
moderately salty flavor, a dimpled texture, and an elastic consistency; these
attributes are the result of the process used, as is the source of its moniker
"pickle cheese".

cheese.
Its color ranges from white to pale yellow. While the smell is
not universally appealing, the flavor is rewarding. Suluguni is often
deep-fried, which helps mask the odor. It is often served in wedges.
Suluguni is produced only of natural ingredients: normalized cow milk by
clotting by rennet with pure cultures of lactic bacteria.
