The History and Origins of Georgia’s Fried Suluguni Cheese

Georgia, a small country located in the South Caucasus, is renowned for its rich culinary traditions and delectable food.

Among the many delicacies featured on the international menu of the national dish, fried suluguni cheese stands out as a genuine gastronomic delight. In this post, we will delve into the origins and history of Georgian fried suluguni cheese.

Cheese, whose birthplace is Georgia

Suluguni cheese is a semi-hard, salted cheese with a unique taste and texture. Its roots can be traced to the mountainous regions of Georgia, where dairy production and cheese-making have been integral to the culture for centuries.

Fried suluguni cheese, or ‘Suluguni Shemthvevi’ in Georgian, is a mouthwatering option that has become a staple of Georgian cuisine.

To prepare this dish, pieces of suluguni cheese are coated in a mixture of flour and beaten egg, forming a crispy crust when fried. The cheese is deep-fried in a pan until it turns golden brown, creating a delightful combination of textures—crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside.

A serving of Suluguni cheese

Fried suluguni cheese is typically served hot, often seasoned with various spices. These flavorful additions complement the creamy, slightly salty nature of the cheese, resulting in a harmonious blend of flavors.

So, the next time you have the opportunity to savor fried suluguni cheese, you’ll be transported in your mind to the heart of Georgia’s cheese-making tradition and experience the scents and tastes of nature.”
