Mihalic Peyniri

Mihalic Peyniri is Turkey's quintessential grating cheese, prized for its hard, crumbly texture and intense saltiness from a dry-salting process lasting at least 3 months. This cheese excels over pasta and salads, where its sharp bite adds depth; it is also a common substitute for Parmesan in Turkish kitchens. Its production volume reaches 1,200 tons annually, yet its aging potential extends up to 12 months, intensifying flavor beyond the average aging cheese.
