It is a special cheese type particular to the Karaburun Peninsula. Kopanisti cheese has reached to the present by being produced mostly by the Greek and then being learnt by the community living in the villages around as a result of common living. Kopanisti cheese starts swelling and giving out its smell as it gets rubbed. This act of rubbing gains Kopanisti cheese a strong odor and aroma. This cheese made only of goat’s milk is generally consumed as an appetizer. (Kopanisti Cheese. Karaburun, January 29, 2020)
