In summer, raw milk from sheep on the Bistra mountain pastures is set with rennet at about 38 °C, cut, pressed, and left at room temperature until the curd (baskija) sours to about pH 5.3. The soured curd is sliced, stretched in brine at 73–75 °C and moulded into wheels, which ripen into a hard sheep kashkaval. No starter culture is added.

In summer, raw milk from sheep on the Bistra mountain pastures is set with rennet at about 38 °C, cut, pressed, and left at room temperature until the curd (baskija) sours to about pH 5.3. The soured curd is sliced, stretched in brine at 73–75 °C and moulded into wheels, which ripen into a hard sheep kashkaval. No starter culture is added. Made in 7 steps over 45 min. The longest step, add rennet, takes 45 min (Santa D 2021) and runs at 38 °C (Santa D 2021). Salt is 2.3 % (Santa D 2021).
This kashkaval is made only in summer, in the mountain villages, from the raw milk of sheep on the high pastures, with no starter culture. The pressed curd is left to sour at room temperature and is then sliced and stretched in hot brine.
Milk
Raw sheep milk from summer mountain pastures; no starter
Stretching
In hot brine at 73–75 °C, at a curd pH of about 5.3
Composition
At six months: total solids 60.81 %, fat 26.02 %, protein 27.85 %, fat in dry matter 42.77 %, salt 2.31 %
Belo sirenjeThe white brined cheese of the same pastures, made in larger amounts (about 50 tonnes a year in 2011).
Safety
Made from raw sheep milk with no starter. The curd is stretched in brine at 73–75 °C, and the cheese in the mould measured about 52 °C and pH 5.05, then ripens for months. ANSES advises pregnant women, people over 65, people with weak immunity and young children to avoid raw-milk cheeses.
A 2011 report says Galičnik and Lazaropole have been the heart of kashkaval making for centuries. A Lazaropole villager recalled that the first sheep came up in spring after wintering near Thessaloniki. Another elder said kashkaval reached the American market and, under Yugoslavia, was Macedonia's first source of valuable currency. The report says output has fallen since the early 1990s and by 2011 did not exceed 10 tonnes a year; it blames depopulation, little support for traditional production and cheaper industrial cheese. The Slow Food Presidium for these cheeses made its first international appearance at the Cheese fair in Bra in 2011.
