Lighvan is a salty, semi-hard white cheese made from raw sheep milk, sometimes with some goat milk, and no starter culture. The milk is set with lamb rennet at about 22–23 °C, drained under weights, cut into blocks and dry-salted. The blocks ripen in tins of 10–12% brine in cold rooms for at least 90 days.
No fixed amounts recordedTraditional process with no fixed batch size; the steps and brine strength follow a 2024 study's description of traditional practice.

At a glance
Lighvan is a salty, semi-hard white cheese made from raw sheep milk, sometimes with some goat milk, and no starter culture. The milk is set with lamb rennet at about 22–23 °C, drained under weights, cut into blocks and dry-salted. The blocks ripen in tins of 10–12% brine in cold rooms for at least 90 days. Made in 6 steps over 3 months. The longest step, ripen in brine in tins, takes at least 3 months (Saremnezhad S 2024) and runs at 5–9 °C (Rashtchi P 2021). Salt is 10–12 % (Saremnezhad S 2024). Lactic acid bacteria of the raw milk and Lactobacilli do most of the fermenting.
One study names the use of raw milk with no starter culture as the most important distinction between Lighvan and similar white brined cheeses. The milk is cooled to 22–23 °C before the rennet goes in, and the blocks are dry-salted before they go into brine.
Milk
Raw sheep milk, sometimes with some goat milk; no starter
Ripening
At least 90 days in 10–12% brine in cold rooms
Output
About 3,150 tonnes a year in the Lighvan region (figure cited in 2021)
Pasteurised-milk LighvanMilk heated 63 °C for 30 min in a 2021 study; no coliforms, higher pH (6.11–6.36)
Sheep–goat blendsStudied at 0–100% goat milk in 2024
Safety
Studies of raw-milk Lighvan found coliforms and E. coli surviving to day 60 of ripening, and earlier surveys found E. coli, coagulase-positive S. aureus and Listeria in samples or milk. In a 2021 study Listeria was in the raw-milk cheese at low counts at days 2 and 14 and not found at days 35 and 60, and Salmonella was not found. Cheese made from pasteurised milk had far lower counts and no coliforms, and the authors conclude that pasteurising the milk seems mandatory for this cheese. In a challenge study Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis added to the milk was not affected during ripening and fell during storage; native strains lasted longer than the laboratory strain.
Hazards the sources name: Coliforms and Escherichia coli, still present at day 60 in raw-milk cheeses; Coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus (18% of 178 samples) and Listeria monocytogenes in the raw milk (earlier studies cited); Listeria monocytogenes in raw-milk cheese, 1.47 log CFU/g at day 2 and 1 log at day 14, not found at days 35 and 60; Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, added to the cheese milk in a challenge study; it was not affected during ripening and fell during storage, and native strains outlasted the laboratory strain (abstract).
