about fresh cheeses

paneer
Paneer is an Indian cheese that is made from cow's milk, sometimes with goat's or sheep's milk and it has a mild, milky flavor and a soft yet slightly chewy texture. Unlike most cheeses, it's made by curdling milk with lemon juice or vinegar, so it's completely vegetarian-friendly (no rennet used).
How It's Used
• Cook it in curries like Paneer Butter Masala or Palak Paneer.
• Grill or fry it for a crispy outside and soft inside.
• Cube it and toss into salads or wraps.
burrata cheese
