Lithuanian term or phrase: fermentinis sūris
How would you translate "fermentinis sūris" if you should use this phrase in the menu of a grand restaurant?

"enzyme modified cheese" doesn't sound very tasty to me
"rennet cheese" may be some other kind of cheese, I'm not sure if it would be correct.
Any other suggestions?

cheese


Explanation:
In English, cheese is cheese. I'm not sure why they add the „fermentinis“ in Lithuanian. Maybe it's to distinguish it from "cottage cheese" (varškė) type products, but a "grand restaurant" wouldn't be offering cottage cheese type products on its "Cheese Platter". From the point of view of catering to the English-speaking tourist, it might be best for the restaurant to refer to a well-known style, e.g. Gouda style or Cheddar style.

Fermented cheese


Explanation:
I would only use word "cheese" too. In regards of it going on a menu and being fermented, it should be mentioned that this isn't a vegetarian cheese like certain mozzarellas or parmesan etc. So far example if it is a cheeseboard and contains fermented cheese, you would not be able to use (v) option in a description.
