About Borano
Borano is an Ajarian cheese dish presented by Georgia Travel in its classic cheese-and-clarified-butter form. The source associates it with mountainous Ajara and the region’s tradition of serving guests.
Aged braided Ajarian cheese supplies the distinctive dairy flavour, enriched by deeply browned clarified butter. This selected version keeps that simple combination without the flour and eggs mentioned for modern variations.
The softened cheese turns golden in the butter and is transferred to a deep serving dish. Borano reaches the table piping hot, with its rich, melted dairy ingredients as the focus.
