Brynza (from Roman Brânză - “cheese”) is a brine cheese made from sheep’s milk. Brynza is a brine cheese that is made not only from cow’s milk, but can also be made from goat, sheep, buffalo milk, and sometimes from mixtures of these types of milk. Usually white in color, it looks like cottage cheese. The taste and smell of feta cheese are fermented milk, moderately salty. Consistency - the dough is soft, moderately dense, slightly brittle, but not crumbly. The color of the dough is from white to slightly yellow, uniform throughout the mass. There is no pattern; a small number of eyes and irregularly shaped voids are allowed. Cheese cheese does not have a crust, the surface is clean, smooth, with traces of serpyanka, slight deformation of the bars and minor cracks are allowed. Brynza is produced from pasteurized cow, buffalo, sheep and goat milk or mixtures thereof. The production of feta cheese from unpasteurized milk is allowed, as an exception, on distant pastures in small factories with mandatory aging (ripening) of it for at least 60 days at industrial enterprises. The acidity of the cow's milk used is 18-20 °T, cow's milk mixed with sheep, goat, buffalo is 22-26 °T.

In my own way appearance high-quality feta cheese can be confused with cottage cheese; this cheese has a similar consistency and a curd-white color. Sometimes feta cheese can have a barely noticeable yellow tint, this largely depends on the milk from which the cheese is made.

Brynza is a pickled cheese that is made not only from cow's milk, but can also be made from goat, sheep, buffalo milk, and sometimes from a mixture of these types of milk. Bryndza is sold after 20 days of soaking in brine, sometimes even after 60 days. Based on the label, we will not be able to determine, in principle, how many days the cheese was soaked in brine. But if the cheese is spicier and saltier, then, accordingly, it was soaked in brine for 60 days or more.

Unlike most cheeses, the surface of feta cheese does not have a crust. If the cheese is slightly dry around the edges, it means that it has been on the counter for a long time and has managed to lose some of its beneficial substances. Real cheese does not have the characteristic “holey” pattern inherent in most cheeses. In high-quality cheese there are very few voids, and even those are of irregular shape.

Find the mass fraction of fat in dry matter on the package. This figure must be at least 40%. And the most delicious and healthy cheese is with a fat content of 50%.

Valuable tips:
If you bought cheese, but it turned out to be too salty for your taste, scald it with boiling water, or soak it in milk or fresh boiled water for several hours.

Peppers stuffed with cheese

This traditional Bulgarian appetizer is called chushka burek, which actually means stuffed pepper. There are many variations on this theme, but we will try to get closer to the authentic recipe.

• 5-6 pieces of red and fleshy bell pepper
• feta cheese 300 gr.

Small tears in the shell are not a problem, all defects will be corrected by thick breading.

Brynza is a pickled cheese. It has no crust. Brynza can be made from goat, sheep and buffalo milk. It also happens that it is made from several types at the same time.

Description

Bryndza is soaked in brine for twenty to sixty days. If you find weathered edges when purchasing, it is better to leave it on the counter. Such signs indicate that it has been sitting in the store for a long time and has already lost some of its beneficial properties.

How did it appear? Legend

One of the most famous types of pickled cheese is Serbian cheese.

According to legend, it appeared completely by accident, thanks to an Arab merchant. He transported milk in fat tails from one settlement to another. This is how he earned his living.

And one hot working day, the merchant did not manage to deliver the milk to its destination on time. As a result, the milk turned sour. The seller brought it home and forgot about it. And a few days later, when I remembered my fat tail, I found a piece of sour meat in it. dairy product. This was the first pickled cheese. Later they began to call it feta cheese.

Manufacturing

Today, Serbian cheese is produced in a simple way. They take goat's or sheep's milk, sometimes they also use cow's milk, but this is done much less often. Specially grown bacteria are added to it. Under their influence, the milk begins to sour. After that, the resulting cheese is aged for another couple of weeks in a special salt brine.

Popularity

A product such as feta cheese is especially popular in Balkan countries, in Ukraine, especially its western part, and among the Moldavian peoples. In these countries, such cheese is rather considered a highlight. And in Serbia, Serbian cheese is especially popular.

Festivals are held annually in Belgrade. They present a large selection of cheese. In recent years, such events have become increasingly popular in other countries. In the Carpathians, for example, they hold a festival of Hutsul cheese.

Choosing natural cheese

It is quite easy to distinguish a real cheese product from a cheese product. Natural cheese has a smooth texture. Serbian cheese has a small number of depressions of different shapes. The cheese product has many fibers and pimples of the same shape. And as we noted above, real Serbian cheese does not have a crust.

Its taste depends on how many days it was kept in brine. The longer it sits, the spicier and saltier it will be. For those who like mild food, it is better to take slightly aged cheese.

Serbian cheese. Calorie content

Although this cheese is not a very high-calorie product, it is also undesirable to eat it in large quantities. There are 208 kcal per hundred grams.

Compound

For those who are interested in Serbian cheese, it will be useful to know its composition. The following ingredients are usually indicated on the package: milk, salt, starter culture and rennet extract.

According to its properties, feta cheese is considered very useful product. It preserves all the substances found in milk. Cheese cheese contains a large amount of calcium and magnesium. It also contains substances such as fluorine and phosphorus. In addition, feta cheese is rich in the content of almost all B vitamins. There are also vitamins A, E, D, which are simply necessary for the normal functioning of our body.

If previously feta cheese was consumed exclusively as a snack, today it is used in all areas of cooking - in salads, casseroles. Bryndza can be stewed with fish, meat, and seafood. Today, it can serve as a separate dish on your table, which is baked in the oven.

Greek salad

Now we’ll tell you which dishes Serbian cheese is added to. We'll look at different recipes below.

The most common dish made from this type of cheese, which everyone probably knows, is Greek salad. Its recipe is quite simple.

You need to take four fresh tomatoes, one fresh cucumber and cut into large cubes. Add shallots cut into half rings. Also add one coarsely chopped bell pepper. It's best if it's Bulgarian. For such a portion you can take 250 grams of cheese. It is cut into large cubes, approximately the same size as a cucumber. If desired, you can add pitted olives.

They are thrown whole into the salad. Greens are placed at your discretion. But according to original recipe Marjoram is usually added to the salad. Season the dish with one tablespoon of lemon juice and three tablespoons of olive oil.

Baked cheese

Let's look at another recipe. Very delicious dish- feta cheese baked with tomatoes. For this dish, we take half a kilogram of feta cheese, two tomatoes, olives, olive oil and select dried herbs to taste.

Cut the cheese into square pieces no more than 2 centimeters thick. Cut the tomato into rings. Before doing this, you can remove the skin from it. Although you don’t have to touch the skin (this is optional).

For each serving, cut off a separate sheet of foil, which we grease with olive oil. First we spread the cheese on it. Then we put the tomato on top and sprinkle it with herbs.

The foil must be wrapped so that it looks like an envelope. The oven needs to be preheated to two hundred degrees. We send our products into it for fifteen minutes.

Then remove from the oven ready dish. Then we put it out of foil on a plate. Serve with olives. The snack will be salty. Therefore, it is advisable to serve beer with it.

Cheese soup

We are all accustomed to the fact that feta cheese is served either in salads or as an appetizer, but, as noted in our article earlier, it can be served in completely different dishes. Now let's look at the recipe simple soup from feta cheese.

So, for the dish we need two chicken legs, two potatoes, 250 grams of feta cheese, one bunch of parsley and one bunch of green onions. The soup can be prepared either on the stove or in a slow cooker. Let's consider the second method. We clean the legs from skin and fat. Then we cut them and put them in the slow cooker. For legs, the “Baking” mode is suitable. We turn it on and start preparing the vegetables. You can add a little trimmed chicken fat to the bottom of the multicooker for frying meat. The legs should be slightly fried until golden brown. Now put the diced potatoes into the slow cooker. The cheese must be chopped into the same pieces as potatoes. We send the cheese along with chopped herbs to stew after the potatoes. At the end, you can add half a teaspoon of Bulgarian seasoning - fenugreek. Remember that soup should never be salted. Since feta cheese is a salty product. After we have put all the ingredients for the soup into the multicooker, pour water on top to the one and a half liter mark. Now you need to switch the multicooker to the “Steam” mode. Bring the soup to a boil. After fifteen minutes of boiling, the multicooker must be switched to another mode. Now you should select “Stew” and leave for one hour. The soup can be served with fried croutons in garlic. The chicken from the dish should be placed on a separate plate. It should be served with chopped fresh tomato. The soup tastes best when cooked in a cast iron pot.

Hominy

And of course, we must not forget about classic dish from feta cheese - mamaliga.

To prepare it, you need to take 20 grams of corn grits, water and 300 milliliters of milk. You will also need 150 grams of cheese, salt and ground pepper (to taste).

Water and milk need to be poured into a cauldron and brought to a boil. After this, the heat should be reduced to medium. In this case, you should stir the liquid until a funnel appears. Then you can start pouring in a thin stream corn grits. At the same time, without ceasing to stir. This should be done for about half an hour so that lumps do not form. Then you need to turn off the burner. Then you should put a little butter in the porridge and cover the cauldron with a towel to let it brew.

Now grease the baking tray with oil. Then put half of the porridge on it. Then you need to put the grated cheese on it as a second layer, and cover it with the remaining porridge on top. Then you should add a few pieces of butter. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Then place the baking sheet in it for about half an hour. Then take out the hominy and cover it with a towel again. You can serve the dish by cutting it into rings or squares. You can fry onions with mushrooms or meat with mamalyga.
