Dambalkhacho (Georgian: დამბალხაჭო, romanized: dambalkhach'o) is a pungent Georgian cheese. The dried lumps are placed into clay pots and left that way for 2-3 months, in order for the cheese to develop special mold. The cheese has a specific, intense aroma, the texture is semi-soft and uniform, while the flavors are spicy.
