Iranian Cheese: Cheesy?

Although Iran has a long tradition in animal husbandry, cheese making and processing dairy products is not very developed.
Tabriz, a city in the north, is well-known for the Iranian traditional cheese and for many the best quality comes from a nearby small village, Liqvan.
Lack of modern machinery for producing cheese causes the efficiency to be lower than the industrialised countries.
The second problem is that each producer can decide on the level of fat in his product within a 15% tolerance set by the controlling organisation which demands that Tabriz Cheese must contain at least 15% fat. This lack of uniformity makes exporting of the products of the same brand more difficult.
