Smoky, salty, and savory with a firm, chewy, peelable texture. The smoked version is smoked over hickory for a richer flavor; the plain version is lightly salted.
Chechil is made with simple, all-natural ingredients: pasteurized milk, vinegar, enzymes, and salt. Smoked varieties are smoked with hickory woodchips. There are no preservatives.
The smoked version is smoked over hickory woodchips for a bolder, savory flavor. The plain version is lightly salted, letting the fresh cheese flavor come through. Both are hand-braided.
Suluguni is a Georgian-style brined table cheese, served in wedges. Chechil offers it in smoked and plain versions. It’s softer and milder than the braided string cheese and works well on a cheese or charcuterie board.
