Tenili is a unique Georgian cheese made in the regions of Samtskhe-Javakheti and Kvemo Kartli. It can be produced from cow's or sheep's milk, but the most important thing is that the milk should have a high percentage of fat. The cheese is pressed and the warm curds are repeatedly hand-pulled into thin strands, giving it a unique shape and visual appearance.
Since the process is a laborious one, tenili is typically prepared for big celebrations and feasts.
