About this recipe

Suluguni is a Georgian brined cheese with a supple, layered texture. The curd is left to ripen, tested to see whether it will stretch, then kneaded and shaped. If you want to know how to make suluguni at home, understanding curd acidity is the key skill, because it determines when the curd is ready to stretch.

What the guide covers

The full method explains ripening the curd, the melt test, stretching, shaping and salting in brine. Watch the signs of readiness as well as the clock: a timer alone cannot tell you when the curd is ready. Protect your hands from the hot water or whey used for stretching.
