Tvrdite

Tvrdite, also known as "hard cheese" or "hard cheeses," are a category of cheeses that are characterized by their firm texture and high moisture content. They are typically made from cow's milk, although some varieties may be produced from goat's milk or a combination of both. The production process for tvrdite involves the coagulation of milk, followed by the separation of the curd from the whey, and then the pressing and aging of the curd. The aging process can vary in duration, ranging from a few weeks to several months, depending on the specific variety of tvrdite. During this time, the cheese develops its characteristic flavor and texture. Tvrdite are often used in cooking and can be grated, sliced, or crumbled to add flavor and texture to dishes. They are also commonly enjoyed on their own, often with wine or other beverages. Some popular varieties of tvrdite include Parmigiano-Reggiano, Cheddar, and Gouda.
