Pegah Lighvan Cheese is a brined white cheese made in the style of Lighvan, the famous village cheese from the mountains of north-west Iran near Tabriz. Pegah, the brand of Iran Dairy Industries, produces it with the tangy, salty flavour and the small eyes and crumbly bite that Lighvan lovers look for.
Traditional Lighvan is ripened in brine, which gives it more character than everyday white cheese. Serve it the Irani way with lavash or naan, walnuts, fresh mint and tarragon, or the Pakistani way at breakfast with paratha and chai. It is also excellent crumbled over salads, folded into omelettes and baked into stuffed breads.
