Circassian cheese is a mild type of cheese that does not melt when baked or fried, and can be crumbled.

There is an annual festival for the Circassian cheese in Maykop, the capital of the Republic of Adyghea, held during the Circassian cultural festival with participants from different regions in the North Caucasus, competing in producing the best types of the Circassian cheese.
