During the ripening process, salted sheep’s milk cottage cheese acquires a pleasantly piquant taste and a slightly more pronounced aroma.

The taste of sheep’s milk cottage cheese, which is originally mild and gentle, is seasoned with salt, and layers of cottage cheese are left to ripen in wooden barrels. During this process, the lumpy structure with curds becomes creamy and spreadable, while the aroma of cottage cheese acquires a full-bodied quality. The taste becomes slightly more piquant, but retains its characteristic freshness.
