Frequently Asked Questions About Susma cheese
What is Susma cheese?
Susma cheese is a traditional, salty cheese made from milk. Its protein-rich curd is turned into cheese and salted; the precise milk and production method can vary between makers.
What does Susma cheese taste like?
Susma cheese has a distinctly salty, milky cheese flavor. Its saltiness can vary by producer, so taste a small piece before adding it to a dish or pairing it with other salty foods.
How do you eat Susma cheese?
Susma cheese can be sliced or crumbled and served at breakfast, or eaten with bread and fresh vegetables. Because it is salty, it pairs well with simple accompaniments and usually needs no extra seasoning.
Can you cook with Susma cheese?
Yes, Susma cheese can be crumbled into savory pastries or added to eggs. Start with little or no added salt, then taste the finished mixture, since the cheese itself can season the dish.
How can you make Susma cheese less salty?
You can briefly soak Susma cheese in cold water and drain it to reduce some surface salt. A long soak can change its taste and texture, so check it after a short time.
Is Susma cheese the same as feta?
No, Susma cheese and feta are not simply two names for the same cheese. Both can be salty, but their production and flavor may differ; use feta as a substitute only after tasting and adjusting the salt.
How should you store Susma cheese after opening?
Keep Susma cheese in a clean, covered container in the refrigerator after opening. Follow the package’s storage directions and use-by date, and discard it if it develops mold, an off smell, or other signs of spoilage.
Can you freeze Susma cheese?
Yes, Susma cheese can be frozen, though thawing may make its texture drier or more crumbly. It is generally more useful after thawing in cooked dishes, such as pastries or eggs, than served in slices.
What can you use instead of Susma cheese?
White cheese is a practical substitute for Susma cheese in many savory recipes. Taste it first, because its salt level may differ, and adjust any added salt before cooking.
Can people with high blood pressure eat Susma cheese?
People with high blood pressure may need to limit Susma cheese because it is salty and can add sodium to the diet. If you have been given a sodium limit, ask your doctor or dietitian what portion fits it.
