Images of a moldy cheese sold in Konya have caused a significant stir on social media. While some users praised this cheese as a culinary heritage, others harshly criticized it on the grounds that it could be harmful to health.
"ONLY A KONYA NATIVE CAN APPRECIATE IT"
After the images spread, users were divided. Some individuals identifying as Konya natives defended the cheese with the comment, "Only a non-Konya native cannot appreciate the value of this cheese. Its taste is undeniable." Those praising it stated that such cheeses have been consumed for years using traditional methods and that its flavor is unique.
"HOW DO THEY EAT THIS?"
However, the criticisms directed at the cheese were equally harsh. Some users commented, "How do they eat this? A person cannot survive two hours with the bacteria on it," arguing that the mold in the images could pose a serious health risk. While the formation of surface mold during the aging process is sometimes considered normal for certain types of cheese made using traditional methods in Konya, whether these products have undergone inspection and whether they pose health risks remains a separate topic of debate.
