Cheese Bread in Many Shapes

Khachapuri is Georgia's famous cheese bread, its name joining words for curd and bread. It comes in many regional styles and is eaten everywhere, from home kitchens to bakeries.

Adjarian khachapuri, from the Black Sea coast, is shaped like a boat and filled with melted cheese. A raw egg yolk and a piece of butter are added at the end, and diners stir them in with a fork, tearing off the crust to dip. Imeretian khachapuri is a round bread filled with cheese, while Megrelian adds cheese on top too.

Sulguni and imeruli cheeses melt and stretch. Economists created a khachapuri index, using the cost of making the bread to compare living costs across Georgian cities. In 2019 khachapuri was recognized as part of Georgia's national intangible heritage.
