Fig. 10

It is a kind of cottage cheese which is produced in some of the villages of Milas. Salt and black sesame are added into it, and it is stuffed into a skin by getting kneaded. The cheese which is taken out after 3 weeks gets crumbled and stuffed in a glazed terra-cotta, and the top of it gets closed using grape leaves rolled up by mud. The pot prepared is left to maturation in a half-buried state into the earth. It is both consumed during breakfast and used as stuffing material for patties. (Kırktokmak Cheese.
