Phoka St. Nino Nunnery , Company
Since the establishment of the Convent, much work went into creating an assortment of local, European style cheeses. By experimenting with different variables, such as milk quality, climate conditions, seasonal affects, etc., nuns finally found an optimal method of cheese making and created an amazing variety –Javakhetian blue mold cheese!
This variety is made from a type of ricotta cheese, and the mold derives from firewood ashes. Maturing of the Javakhetian blue cheese is a long and complicated process and takes minimum of 45-50 days to ripen. But after it matures, it fully corresponds to the 4th level of cheese ripeness standards!
