Shape: Shaped
A natural sawn chalk in cubes. Its color is snow-white, in chalk dust. It has a medium density and fat content. It is not too hard and bites off with a resounding crunch. When chewed it turns into a gruel with a grain. The taste is a bright creamy chalky taste. The samples originates in Belgorod.
чизкейк (cheesecake)
crumbly and airy popcorn like (рассыпчатый и воздушный)
It was easy to eat somehow. This taste made me feel uncomfortable. It is like an oak tree. Makes me think of sea creatures of another era. I do not advice it to anyone.
