That is mold with some cheese in it. And why bother to peel it?

At what point does it become more rot than cheese?
Sadistick_
Not every mold is bad for body, its safe to eat for this cheese
SadPersonality4803

Do Americans not eat moldy cheese?

I mean, this is just blue cheese. What are we doing here? This is the actual antithesis to the stated purpose of this sub. This sub isn’t to poke fun at regular food from different cultures. Man, do people need to pick up a fucking cookbook.

Ya amk sırf video paylaşacağım diye paylaşım yapıyorsun. Gram fikrin yok ne paylaştığın hakkında. Senin gibi mallardan keşke uzak durabilme şansımız olsa. Neyse bir engel daha.

That is either the best cheese ever or it would be like eating the dust from under your bed

I love blue cheese so I’m thinking I would enjoy this as well.

This actually comes from my country and yes it’s delicious, it’s called uchek-bo (rough translation meaning old cow), the cheese is fermented underground for up to 2 years ensuring it’s kept in a cool, dark, dry place, after its first year a harmless blue mold is introduced which is taken from the fruit skins of lemons and brushed all over the cheese and allowed to colonise and spread, the introduction of the mold actually protects the uchek-bo from harmful bacteria establishing but don’t let this distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.

Had to research this specific version. I’d heard of moldy cheeses in Turkey but not this.. pure loaf.
Küflü Civil Peyniri cheese from Erzurum was moldy but looked 20x better than this.. kinda ropey so obviously a different prep at least.

This is not stupid food. Learn about cheese and molds, you ignorant.
DalbergTheKing
I’m not sure this is sub appropriate. Plenty of us eat moldy cheese, this is just a little extra. Just a little.

Perfectly normal, perfectly healthy.

This is actually healthy to eat. The mold is the thing that makes the cheese special. It’s literally sold as moldy cheese here

I had to look this up. It is called “Konya küflü peynir” or Konya green cheese. It is a traditional mold ripened cheese that tastes like a blue cheese turned up to 11. That’s rad!

Took me about 30 seconds to find the name, another 30 seconds to ask ChatGPT about the cheese, and another 30 second to verify GPTs response was accurate… What 90seconds of ‘research’ yielded:
**küflü peynir**, specifically a **mold-ripened tulum-style cheese** from central Turkey (Konya is well known for it).
* **Blue-green interior**: intentional growth of wild *Penicillium* molds, similar in idea to blue cheese but far more aggressive and rustic. * **Wrapped in cloth**: traditional aging method. The cheese is packed tightly, tied in cloth, and aged for months in cool cellars or caves. * **Dry, crumbly interior** rather than creamy veins. This is typical of Turkish mold cheeses versus Roquefort or Gorgonzola. * Often made from **sheep’s milk**, sometimes mixed with cow or goat.
Common names:
* **Küflü peynir** (literally “moldy cheese”) * **Küflü tulum peyniri** * Sometimes regionally branded as **Konya küflü peyniri**
Important distinction:
* This is **not accidental spoilage**. It’s a traditional product where people eat the mold intentionally. * The molds are not tightly strain-controlled like in industrial blue cheese, which is why food safety authorities outside the region tend to be cautious about it. * Locals typically **scrape or trim** heavily moldy outer portions and eat the interior, often with bread and onions. (which is why you see them cutting off the outside in the video)
Maybe before we post videos about regular food from other cultures, we take a solid 90 seconds to figure out what it is first? I get why so many street vendor vids end up here, but this is literally just intentionally aged cheese….

Must be a shock to some of you but cheese is not necessarily orange and tasting nothing
shadowtheimpure
It’s just a very well developed blue cheese.
Youdontknowme1771
Just because it’s culturally different, doesn’t make it stupid. This is different than something like The Salt Bae and all the knockoffs.
LegDayLass
Seems like this is just a type of blue cheese, moldy cheese is not a stupid food, so this comment section has failed.

Post a video of American “cheese” if you want to see actual stupid food. This here is called a delicacy.
