Saganaki cheese ( Turkish: saganaki peyniri) is a Greek and Turkish cheese made of sheep's milk, cow milk, goat milk, or a combination, and used to prepare saganaki. Some saganaki cheese is similar to the basket cheese made in Aegean Turkey. [1]
It is sometimes flavored with thyme, walnut, mastic, red pepper, cinnamon, black seed, black pepper, or olive oil; or smoked. [2] [3]
