Soft, white cheese with creamy texture and a tangy aftertaste. It is used as a table cheese for snacks and in salads. Traditional, rind-free, Romanian cheese with a whitish paste. Cumin seeds are occasionally added for a spicy, nutty flavor. Pasteurized milk is cooled to 95 degrees F, rennet is added for curdling and an hour later, the resulting curd is removed. The curd is kept in cheesecloth and pressed overnight. The cheeses mature for one month in a bath of salt and whey.
