Substitutes for Circassian cheese

A substitute changes the dish. The note says how.

• SulguniSulguni is a Caucasian cheese that often shares a menu with Circassian cheese, but it stretches and melts instead of staying in moist crumbs.
• Queso blancoQueso blanco is a mild fresh cheese that crumbles on salads and holds its shape in heat when Circassian cheese is unavailable.
