Ingredient appreciation — what makes Lobiani special

What sets Lobiani apart is the handling of sulguni cheese. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the complex and distinctive result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

the Georgian supra feast is a ritual occasion with formal toasts guided by a tamada toastmaster. The a family Sunday table atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had chacha grape pomace spirit as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Lobiani is the place to start.
