Their wide range of dairy products are  in demand among Ukrainians, especially the bestseller, Bikoz, a hard goat&#8217;s milk cheese. Made similarly to a Dutch Gouda, Bikoz is famous for its spicy-sweet taste with slightly sour notes and creamy aroma. Aging the cheese for 12-15 months allows for tyrosine crystals to develop. The paste is a beautiful light straw color and contains small holes, and the texture of the cheese is crumbly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bessarabia.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bessarabia-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bessarabia-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bessarabia-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bessarabia-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bessarabia-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bessarabia-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bessarabia.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bessarabia\"><strong>Bessarabia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ukr_agro\/\">RORY<\/a> is a farm and cheese factory from the Kyiv region making craft cheeses from pedigree goats&#8217; milk.

The creamery&#8217;s goats graze freely year round. Most of the time, they feed on fresh grass, but in winter, they feed on pine twigs that they find under the snow, which gives their milk a pine flavor. The cheesemakers decided to enhance this flavor by adding pine needles to the cheese itself. The result is a sweet, creamy cheese with bright notes of pine and mushroom. In older wheels, the texture becomes runny and the flavors more pronounced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ricotta-Classic.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ricotta-Classic-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44923\" srcset=\"https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ricotta-Classic-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ricotta-Classic-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ricotta-Classic-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ricotta-Classic-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ricotta-Classic-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/developer83.wordpress-developer.us\/culturecheesemag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ricotta-Classic.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ricotta-classic\"><strong>Ricotta Classic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lel.com.ua\/\">Molochna Maisternya<\/a>&#8216;s Ricotta Classic is the Ukrainian analogue of the famous Italian ricotta.&nbsp;The secret to its creamy, milky, and sweet flavor lies in a longer grazing period for the cows that provide the milk for this cheese.
