'''Production technique''':  ''Single-[[Curd|curd]] variety''.  The evening [[Milk|milk]] yield is partially skimmed and then mixed with the [[Whole milk|whole milk]] from the morning yield.  The milk is coagulated at 30 – 35 °C in around 40 minutes.  The [[Curds|curds]] are then broken, first into large lumps and then small pieces of 1 – 3 cm.

They are then left to stand for 10 – 15 minutes after which the [[Curds|curds]] are extracted from the [[Whey|whey]], placed in cloths and left to [[Ferment|ferment]] for about one hour.  Immediately after, [[Salt|salt]] is mixed into the curds (5 kg of salt to 10 quarts of [[Milk|milk]]). The curds are again wrapped in cloth and placed in moulds.  They are left for 24 hours at a temperature of 20-24°C, during which they are turned 2-3 times.  The curds are then removed from the moulds, placed on wooden boards, dry-[[Salted|salted]] and left for 3-4 days.  After this, the [[Cheese|cheese]] is stored in maturing rooms.  The product is ready to eat after at least 4 months of aging and not more than 7 months.  Perforation is not obligatory as natural cracks in the rind allow air to enter into the cheese. In any case, this would be carried out 20 days after preparation.
