Suluguni is considered one of the oldest cheeses on earth.

In ancient times, people stored milk in bags made from the stomachs of calves, lambs and piglets. Thanks to gastric enzymes, the milk in the bags gradually curdled, turning into a curd and whey. The curd, separated from the whey and similar to cottage cheese, was the first cheese. It was stored longer than milk. In hot climates, cheeses were stored in a salt solution and called “brine”.

Suluguni cheese is dense, layered and elastic. It has a salty, clean milky taste. Suluguni contains animal protein, B vitamins, vitamin A, calcium and amino acids. With regular use of this cheese, teeth and bones are strengthened, the risk of thrombophlebitis and atherosclerosis is reduced, the skin becomes younger.
