Frequently Asked Questions About Aged Kars Kashar cheese
What is aged Kars Kashar cheese?
Aged Kars Kashar cheese is a firm Turkish cheese associated with Kars in northeastern Turkey. It is matured for a deeper, sharper flavour and a drier texture than young Kashar.
How is aged Kars Kashar cheese made?
Aged Kars Kashar cheese is made by coagulating milk, working the curds, shaping the cheese, and allowing it to mature. It is therefore a processed food, though that classification does not by itself mean additives are used.
How does aged Kars Kashar cheese differ from fresh Kashar?
Aged Kars Kashar cheese is firmer, drier, and more flavourful than fresh Kashar because it matures for longer. Fresh Kashar is usually milder and softer, making it easier to slice for everyday sandwiches.
How do you eat aged Kars Kashar cheese?
Aged Kars Kashar cheese is commonly sliced or broken into pieces and served with bread, fruit, or olives. Its strong flavour also works well grated over pasta, soups, and baked dishes.
How should aged Kars Kashar cheese be stored?
Keep aged Kars Kashar cheese refrigerated and tightly wrapped so it does not dry out or absorb other food odours. After cutting, cover the exposed surface; discard it if it develops unusual mould, stickiness, or an off smell.
Can you freeze aged Kars Kashar cheese?
Yes, aged Kars Kashar cheese can be frozen, although thawing may make its texture more crumbly. Freeze it in a well-sealed portion and thaw it in the refrigerator; the changed texture is less noticeable when it is grated or melted.
Does aged Kars Kashar cheese melt well?
Yes, aged Kars Kashar cheese melts when heated, but its lower moisture and firmer texture can make it less stretchy than young Kashar. It is useful in toasties, savoury bakes, and dishes where a stronger cheese flavour is welcome.
Is the rind on aged Kars Kashar cheese edible?
The natural outer surface of aged Kars Kashar cheese can be eaten if it is clean and in good condition. Trim away any dirty, excessively hard, or mouldy part, and remove a separate coating if the cheese has one.
Is aged Kars Kashar cheese low in lactose?
Aged Kars Kashar cheese may contain less lactose than fresh cheese because some lactose is reduced during cheese-making and maturation. The amount varies, so it should not be assumed to be lactose-free if you are sensitive.
Is aged Kars Kashar cheese a good source of protein?
Yes, aged Kars Kashar cheese provides substantial protein along with calcium. Its concentrated flavour makes it easy to use a modest amount in a meal, while people limiting salt should take its salt content into account.

What is Aged Kars Kashar cheese?
Aged Kars Kashar cheese is a traditional hard cheese from Kars in northeastern Turkey. Usually made from cow’s milk, it develops a firmer texture and a fuller, sharper, savoury flavour as it matures. In Turkey it is often sliced for breakfast, eaten with bread and tea, or grated over hot dishes. Its assertive taste also works well in toasted sandwiches, where it melts while remaining pleasantly rich. It is high in protein and calcium, but also rich in fat, so a thin slice can add plenty of flavour and substance. Pair it with fresh tomatoes, cucumber or greens for a simple plate, or use a modest amount alongside vegetables when you want a lighter meal.
