The Federation of Jewish Communities of the CIS is reporting today that the Ukrainian Kashrut Committee plans to release two new kosher cheeses for Shavuot, a Jewish holiday traditionally celebrated by eating lots of dairy products. The two cheeses, Delikatesnaya Brynza and Bolgarskaya Brynza, are Balkan-style sheep's milk cheeses, similar to Quark in both texture and manufacture. Delikatesnaya Brynza is packed along with olives in a hot marinade, a technique that sounds quite similar to some pickling styles for Feta cheese.
