Lighvan is a salty, semi-hard white cheese made from raw sheep milk, sometimes with some goat milk, and no starter culture. The milk is set with lamb rennet at about 22–23 °C, drained under weights, cut into blocks and dry-salted. The blocks ripen in tins of 10–12% brine in cold rooms for at least 90 days. Made in 6 steps over 3 months. The longest step, ripen in brine in tins, takes at least 3 months (Saremnezhad S 2024) and runs at 5–9 °C (Rashtchi P 2021). Salt is 10–12 % (Saremnezhad S 2024). Lactic acid bacteria of the raw milk and Lactobacilli do most of the fermenting.
No fixed amounts recordedTraditional process with no fixed batch size; the steps and brine strength follow a 2024 study's description of traditional practice.

What makes this one different
Lighvan is set from raw sheep milk with no starter at all, at a cool 22–23 °C, and relies on the milk's own bacteria; studies name this as its main difference from similar white brined cheeses. The blocks are dry-salted before they go into brine.
Milk
Raw sheep milk, sometimes with some goat milk; no starter
Ripening
At least 90 days in 10–12% brine in cold rooms
Output
About 3,150 tonnes a year in the Lighvan region (figure cited in 2021)
Pasteurised-milk LighvanMilk heated 63 °C for 30 min in a 2021 study; no coliforms, higher pH (6.11–6.36)
Sheep–goat blendsStudied at 0–100% goat milk in 2024
Safety
Studies of raw-milk Lighvan found coliforms and E. coli surviving to day 60 of ripening, and earlier surveys found E. coli, coagulase-positive S. aureus and Listeria in samples or milk. Cheese made from pasteurised milk had far lower counts and no coliforms.
Hazards the sources name: Coliforms and Escherichia coli, still present at day 60 in raw-milk cheeses; Coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus (18% of 178 samples) and Listeria monocytogenes in the raw milk (earlier studies cited).
The cheese is named after the Lighvan area of East Azerbaijan, and studies call it the most popular traditional cheese in Iran. Most of its milk comes from small farms milked by hand.
