"40 tons produced, 500 tons sold"
TOBB Karaman Women Entrepreneurs Executive Board Chairman and Ala Dükkan founder Ahsen Toktay stated that Karaman Divle Obruk cheese is among the top 5 cheeses in the world. Stating that the Karaman Chamber of Commerce and Industry received a geographical indication certificate for Divle Obruk Cheese in 2017, Toktay said, “The capacity of our Divle Obruk is 40 tons, but 500 tons of cheese are sold in the market. We need to work harder to use the geographical indication more effectively and to raise the awareness of the consumer ”.
"Flavor from 38 meters below the ground"
Explaining that Karaman Divle Obruk cheese is made from 70 percent sheep and 30 percent goat milk, it is matured in special tulips in Divle Sinkhole at 38 meters below the ground at 4 degrees for 6 months, and said, “It gets its flavor from the fatty milk of Ak Karaman and Mor Karaman sheep and the flora of the sinkhole. The cheese kept at 4 degrees with 80 percent humidity is fed by the specific bacteria of the pothole, ”he said.
Noting that a group from France scrapped the Divle Obruk cheese bacteria and took it to France, Toktay said that they could not obtain the same product, and that the product was obtained entirely from the flora of the region.
