Sepet cheese is a kind of cheese which is produced in the vicinities of İzmir close by Aegean Islands, in Ayvalık, Karaburun, and Çeşme. Basket cheese is made of speep’s milk in Ayvalık and is called kelle cheese in the region. Around Karaburun and Çeşme, it is made of goat’s whole milk and it is consumed fresh, without much maturation. While this cheese was once placed in baskets made of reeds, nowadays, it is shaped in plastic containers with a hole at the top of them. (Sepet Cheese. Karaburun, January 29, 2020)
