Description

Krinos Bulgarian white cheese is a feta variation known in Bulgaria, Macedonia and other Balkan countries as “Sirene”. Made from sheep’s milk, Sirene is a tad saltier than Greek feta and has a creamier texture, with a hint of yogurt overtones. Bulgarian white cheese is often used in traditional pastry dishes such as Banitsa (Tiropita) and Shopska salad (similar to Greek salad).

Ingredients : Pasteurized sheep’s and cow’s milk, salt, bacterial cultures, rennet.

The main benefit of feta is that it contains large amounts of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D, which are essential for the health of the musculoskeletal system. Calcium strengthens bones and teeth, and vitamin D improves the body’s absorption of minerals.

How do you eat Bulgarian white cheese?
Sometimes considered the saltiest of the varieties, this cheese pairs well with soups or salads. It’s also tasty and can be enjoyed simply with oil, salt, and pepper. Another option is to bake with the Sirene. Dishes like tutmanik and banitsa are popular.

How long does Bulgarian feta last?
According to Sommer, feta packed in liquid salt brine can last for as long as 6 months if stored correctly: You can keep the cheese in its original container, but be sure that the block is completely submerged in brine and that care has been taken to avoid contamination.
