Caș is a traditional fresh cheese made from raw cow's or sheep's milk. The milk is curdled with rennet, and it's later drained to separate the whey. This semi-soft cheese is usually unsalted (or lightly salted) and white in color. In texture, it is smooth and almost squeaky.
The flavors are fresh and slightly acidic. Caș is used to make other types of cheeses such as
Brânză de burduf and
Cașcaval, and if it's stored in brine, after 2-3 weeks it turns into
Telemea. The cheese is usually eaten for breakfast with eggs, but it can also be used in pies or shredded and added to salads.
