Mihaliç peyniri is an aged sheep's milk cheese from Turkey.
Similar to kelle, kefalotyri cheese [1] or beyaz peynir, Mihaliç peyniri is stored in brine. The curds are placed in hot water and stirred, then left in the water to harden and acquire a firm, slightly elastic texture and finally are salted and dried.
It is made in various sizes and shapes, usually balls or slices, and can be used as a substitute for Parmigiano Reggiano. [2] It is often used in salads and baked dishes. [3]
