Sirene

Sirene is a cheese made from cow's or sheep's milk (originally made of goat's milk, but today is made mostly of the cheaper cow's milk, sheep milk or a combination of milks), characterized by its tender, wet, and crumbly texture, and a fresh, lemony flavor.

It is also known as Bulgarian feta and white brine sirene. Apart from Bulgaria, the cheese is especially popular in Macedonia, Romania, Albania, and Greece. It is usually served with soups and salads, athough sirene can also be used in numerous baked goods.
