Common card · No. 474035

Chechil (also chechili) is a brined string cheese primarily made from skimmed cow's milk, though it can also be produced from mixtures of cow, sheep, and goat milk. It is a pasta filata-type cheese that is pulled into thin strings and typically formed into braids. Chechil is similar to mozzarella. It occupies an intermediate position between rennet- and acid-set cheeses and is sometimes classified as a sulguni-type cheese. The cheese is popular in Armenia and Georgia.
