The Bulgarian white brined cheese, known as “Bulgarsko byalo salamureno sirene,” holds a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status from the European Commission. This recognition signifies that the unique qualities of the cheese are closely linked to the geographical area of production and the specific production methods used in Bulgaria.
The PDO designation for Bulgarian white brined cheese, similar to Bulgarian yogurt, establishes certain criteria for its production and ensures its authenticity and quality.
The favorable climatic and natural conditions in Bulgaria play a significant role in the production of Bulgarian white brined cheese. These conditions contribute to the development of lactic acid bacteria, which are essential for the fermentation process that gives the cheese its unique taste and texture. The use of these specific bacteria has been a part of the cheese-making process since ancient times, and they continue to influence the distinct characteristics of the cheese.
