Can you really eat this? 10 Belarusian products that will surprise you

Coffee Cheese

No, this is not an attempt to have a quick breakfast, but a completely real product produced in Karelichy under the brand "Navahrudskiya Dary". The round cheese head is not very large — from 600 grams to a kilogram, sprinkled with ground coffee on the outside. The coffee aroma, by the way, comes through the individual packaging of slices on the counter. The fat content is quite standard for cheese — 50%.

Samegrelo, by the way, is not a type of cheese, but a region of Georgia. It is also called Megrelia, and suluguni cheese comes from there. As the company explained, the halves differ in color because a food coloring is added to one of them — all for aesthetics, they taste the same.

Price — about 34 rubles per kilogram.

For "Navahrudskiya Dary", this is not the only creative cheese in their portfolio. These red and green bars with pesto are also "countrymen" of the coffee cheese. The manufacturer's website also features "Selehin" (Selegin) with speckles in two variants: with black olives or green olives. However, journalists did not find them in several Minsk stores.

A variant for those who want to draw increased attention from guests to their meat platter.

It is baked from flour, onion powder, dry potato puree, and pasta grits.
