Georgian style Sulguni cheese is a traditional cheese that is commonly found in Georgia, a country in the Caucasus region of Eurasia. This cheese is made from cow's milk or a blend of cow's and sheep's milk, and it is characterized by its stretchy, elastic texture and tangy, slightly sour flavor.

To make Sulguni cheese, the milk is heated and mixed with a starter culture and rennet, which causes the milk to curdle. The resulting curds are then cut into small pieces and cooked in whey until they are stretchy and elastic. The cheese is then formed into a ball or braid and soaked in brine to give it its distinctive flavor.

Georgian style Sulguni cheese is typically enjoyed on its own or as a topping for salads, pizzas, or other dishes. It is also commonly used in traditional Georgian dishes such as Khachapuri (a type of cheese-filled bread) and Chakhokhbili (a chicken and tomato stew).
