Frequently Asked Questions About Aho cheese
What is Aho cheese?

Where does Aho cheese come from?
Aho cheese is traditionally associated with Şavşat in Artvin, northeastern Turkey. The name is linked to the area, but products sold as Aho cheese may be made elsewhere, so check the producer information for a specific origin.
How is Aho cheese made?
Aho cheese is made by curdling milk and separating the curds from the whey, followed by steps such as draining, salting, and shaping. Exact methods vary by producer and local recipe.
What does Aho cheese taste like?
Aho cheese has a milky, savory cheese flavor. Its saltiness and intensity can vary with the maker’s method, so try a small piece first if you plan to use it in a recipe.
How is Aho cheese traditionally served?
Aho cheese can be served sliced at breakfast or alongside bread and fresh vegetables. It also works as part of a cheese plate; pair it with milder foods if the particular cheese tastes quite salty.
Can you cook with Aho cheese?
Yes, Aho cheese can be used in dishes such as omelets, savory pastries, and filled flatbreads. Taste it before seasoning the rest of the dish, since its saltiness can affect how much extra salt you need.
Does Aho cheese melt well?
Aho cheese can soften or melt when heated, but the result depends on its moisture and texture. Test a small piece in a hot pan or on bread before relying on it for a dish that needs a smooth melt.
How should you store Aho cheese after opening?
Store Aho cheese in the refrigerator in a sealed container or its original packaging. Keeping it covered helps prevent drying and stops it from absorbing other odors; follow the storage directions on the package.
Can you freeze Aho cheese?

What is Aho cheese?
Aho cheese is a dairy cheese made by setting milk into curds and processing them into a finished cheese. The name alone does not establish a particular region, milk type or ageing tradition, so it is best not to assume it belongs to a specific local style.
Slice it for breakfast or a sandwich, crumble or cube it into a salad, or serve it on a cheese board. Its exact flavour and texture can vary with the producer and how it is made. Aho cheese supplies protein and calcium, while also contributing a notable amount of fat. For a lighter meal, use a modest portion alongside fresh vegetables, or pair it with fruit and whole-grain bread.
