Questions & Answers about Пусть брынза и солёная, мне всё равно нравится её вкус.

What does пусть mean here? Is it the same as let?

Here пусть is not a command like Let him go. In this sentence, it works as a concessive particle, meaning something like:

• even though
• granted that
• let it be the case that

So Пусть брынза и солёная... means roughly Even though the cheese is salty... or Granted, the cheese is salty...

This use of пусть is quite common in spoken and written Russian when you admit one fact but then say it does not change your main point.

Why is there an и after солёная?

This is part of a common pattern:

• Пусть X и Y, ...
• Хоть X и Y, ...

It adds a concessive sense: X may be Y, but...

So:

• Пусть брынза и солёная, мне всё равно нравится её вкус.

means something like:

• The brynza may be salty, but I still like its taste.

The и here usually does not mean plain and. It helps form the even though / although structure.
