Sulguni cheese is a traditional Georgian cheese celebrated for its mild, tangy flavor and semi-soft texture. Made from cow's or buffalo's milk—or a combination of both—it is rich in protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like B12, which support bone health and energy production. Sulguni is often brined, giving it a characteristic salty taste, and its stretchable consistency makes it perfect for melting in dishes like khachapuri or enjoyed fresh. While nutrient-dense, its high sodium and fat content should be consumed in moderation, particularly for those watching their salt or saturated fat intake. Sulguni’s natural fermentation process contributes probiotics, which can promote gut health, adding a functional benefit to its culinary appeal. This versatile cheese is a staple of Georgian cuisine and a flavorful way to elevate your meals while enjoying a taste of centuries-old tradition.
