White Cheese (Byalo Sirene) is one of Bulgaria's most beloved dairy products — a fundamental part of Bulgarian cuisine for centuries. Produced by Destan from 100% natural cow's milk, this cheese embodies the richness of traditional Bulgarian dairy craftsmanship.

Unlike heavily brined white cheeses, Destan's white cheese is lightly salted — making it a milder, more versatile option that appeals to a wider audience, including those who prefer a gentler dairy flavour. It is a semi-soft, crumbly cheese with a clean, fresh milky aroma and a smooth, delicate taste.

Destan's white cheese is made using traditional methods with carefully selected quality milk, preserving the authentic taste that Bulgarians have known for generations.

🇪🇺 Bulgarian White Cheese (Byalo Sirene) holds PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status in the European Union — meaning only cheese produced in Bulgaria according to traditional specifications may carry this name. This is a guarantee of authentic origin, quality, and heritage.

Flavour & texture

Fresh, clean, and milky with a delicate, lightly salted flavour. Firm enough to slice, yet crumbly. Ideal for salads, baking, and table use. Its mild taste makes it particularly versatile and accessible.
