Siraz
Siraz is a Serbian semisoft cheese made usually from whole milk. The
milk is curdled at a temperature of 104 F., and the curd is dipped into a
cloth and pressed into round, flat cakes from 4 to 6 inches in diameter
and an inch thick. The cakes are placed in the sun to dry until the fat
begins to exude; then they are rubbed with salt several times. When a
crust has formed on the cheeses, they are placed in wooden containers to
ripen. The ripened cheese has a mellow and compact body.
