White Brine Cheese (Byalo Salamureno Sirene) is Bulgaria's most iconic and beloved cheese — a fundamental part of Bulgarian cuisine and daily life for centuries. Produced by Madjarov from 100% natural sheep's milk, this cheese embodies the richness of traditional Bulgarian dairy craftsmanship.

Made from sheep's milk, this white brine cheese has a richer, fuller flavour than cow's milk varieties — more intense, slightly tangy, and deeply aromatic. It is a semi-soft, crumbly cheese matured in natural brine, which gives it its characteristic saltiness and firm yet crumbly texture.

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

🇪🇺 Bulgarian White Brine Cheese (Byalo Salamureno 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

Rich, tangy, and full-flavoured with a pleasant saltiness from the brine. Firm enough to slice, yet crumbly — ideal for salads, baking, and table use. The sheep's milk gives a deeper, more complex taste compared to cow's milk varieties.

How to use it

• Shopska salad — the classic Bulgarian salad, finished with generous crumbled white cheese on top
• Banitsa — the traditional Bulgarian cheese pastry, made with filo and white brine cheese
• Cheese boards — pairs beautifully with olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, and fresh bread
• Grilled — holds its shape well on the grill or in a pan
• Stuffed peppers, pastries, and pies — a staple filling in Balkan baking
