Cheese products Inspection in Lanchkhuti

The suitability of cheese was monitored in Lanchkhuti by the Georgian Rural Council by suwithin the framework of the fourth phase (ENPARD IV) of the European Union "European Neighborhood Program for Agriculture and Rural Development" (ENPARD - Georgia), as well as the project "Increased Agricultural Economic practices and consumer awareness" within the framework. 

The Georgian Rural Council purchased cheese samples and ensured laboratory testing. We bought 5 types of cheese at various shops and markets in Lanchkhuti and submitted it to the State Laboratory of Agriculture in the city of Kutaisi. 2 samples of factory-made cheese produced in Georgia and 3 samples made in local farms were purchased.
