Skimmed cow milk is left to sour, then set and heated with stirring until the curd pieces stick together and can be pulled into threads by hand. The threads are coiled, cooled and tied into rope-like bundles of white, salty cheese that smells of cultured milk; a smoked form also exists.
No fixed amounts recordedThe Georgian specification gives no amounts; a finished bundle weighs 0.5–3 kg. Its salt figure (4–8 %) sits in a block headed for Megruli sulguni, so it is not used here.

Starter
In Armenia the milk is soured, with salt or vinegar added by some households to speed it, and sometimes it curdles on its own without a ferment (Harutyunyan 2025)

In Armenia the cheese is made from sour milk; some households add salt or vinegar to sour it faster, and sometimes the milk curdles on its own without a ferment (Harutyunyan 2025). Output: soured skimmed milk.

Skimmed cow milk is left to sour, then set and heated with stirring until the curd pieces stick together and can be pulled into threads by hand. The threads are coiled, cooled and tied into rope-like bundles of white, salty cheese that smells of cultured milk; a smoked form also exists. Made in 5 steps over 5 min – 10 min. The longest step, set the curd, takes 5–10 min (Ministry of Agriculture of Georgia 2012) and runs at 38–40 °C (Ministry of Agriculture of Georgia 2012).
Chechil is made from skimmed milk that is soured before setting, so the curd stretches at a low 38–40 °C in the Georgian rules. It is pulled into threads and tied into ropes, not shaped into balls like most pasta filata cheeses.
Meskhuri chechili (Georgia)The Georgian GI form, from fat-free cow milk in Samtskhe-Javakheti.
Civil peyniri (Erzurum)Turkish registered relative from skimmed cow milk soured to 22 °SH, set with rennet, then heated to 60–65 °C while the curd is kneaded, stretched and hung on racks.
Safety
In 15 household Cecil cheeses from Erzurum, the Turkish form of this cheese, Staphylococcus aureus averaged 6.4 x 10^2 cfu/g and was not detected in 46.66 % of samples. Coliform bacteria were below 10 cfu/g in 86.66 % of samples (Dikbaş 2010).
Hazards the sources name: Staphylococcus aureus (mean 6.4 x 10^2 cfu/g, not detected in 46.66 % of samples) and coliform bacteria (mean 8.5 x 10^1 cfu/g in the positive samples), in the same Erzurum Cecil cheeses.
Harutyunyan (2025) records that in the past Armenian families plaited chechil into a white braid and sent it to the bride as a holiday gift. Georgia registered Meskhetian Chechili as a geographical indication on 24 January 2012. TÜRKPATENT received the application for Erzurum civil cheese on 17 December 2007 and announced it in the Official Gazette of 6 February 2009.
