Frequently Asked Questions About Boiled Circassian Cheese
What is Boiled Circassian Cheese?
Boiled Circassian Cheese is a traditional cheese made by working curds in hot whey or water, then draining and shaping them. “Boiled” describes a step in making the cheese; it does not mean you need to boil it before eating.
What does Boiled Circassian Cheese taste like?
Boiled Circassian Cheese is usually mild, milky and lightly salty, with a firm yet pliable texture. It is not automatically smoky: a pronounced smoky flavor generally means the cheese has also been smoked after it was made.
How is Boiled Circassian Cheese made?
Boiled Circassian Cheese is made by curdling milk, then kneading or working the curds in hot liquid before draining and shaping them. The exact liquid, salting and aging methods vary by maker, so the finished cheese can differ in texture and flavor.
Is Boiled Circassian Cheese the same as Adyghe cheese?

What is Boiled Circassian Cheese?
Boiled Circassian Cheese is a traditional cheese associated with Circassian cuisine, made by boiling milk curds. It is often mildly salty, with a clear milky flavour and a sliceable texture, though firmness can vary with the recipe.
It can be served in slices at breakfast or alongside bread and fresh vegetables, and works well crumbled into salads or folded into savoury pastries. Its protein and calcium make it a substantial cheese, while it also contributes fat, so a modest portion with vegetables makes a balanced pairing. Try it simply with herbs to let its gentle flavour come through.
