Frequently Asked Questions About Akhisar tulum cheese
What does Akhisar tulum cheese taste like?
Akhisar tulum cheese has a pronounced savory, salty flavor and an aged-cheese character. Its texture can range from firm to crumbly, depending on the producer and maturation, so it is often enjoyed in small pieces rather than as a mild sandwich cheese.
How is Akhisar tulum cheese traditionally made?
Akhisar tulum cheese is made by coagulating milk, draining the curds, salting them, and allowing the cheese to mature. Tulum cheeses were traditionally aged in animal-skin containers, though modern producers may use other vessels and methods.
How do you serve Akhisar tulum cheese?
Serve Akhisar tulum cheese in small slices or crumbles with bread, olives, and fresh vegetables. Its strong salty flavor also works well on a cheese board alongside milder cheeses, fruit, or unsalted crackers.
How is Akhisar tulum cheese different from feta?
Akhisar tulum cheese is a Turkish aged tulum-style cheese, while feta is a brined cheese traditionally associated with Greece. Their production and texture differ: tulum cheese is generally firmer and more intensely aged, while feta is typically moist and crumbly.
Can Akhisar tulum cheese be used in börek?
Yes, Akhisar tulum cheese can be crumbled into börek filling. Because it is already salty and strongly flavored, combine it with a milder cheese or herbs and taste the filling before adding any extra salt.
How should you store Akhisar tulum cheese after opening?
Keep Akhisar tulum cheese refrigerated and tightly wrapped, or place it in a sealed container to limit drying and odor transfer. Use a clean knife each time and return the cheese to the refrigerator promptly after serving.
Can you freeze Akhisar tulum cheese?
Yes, you can freeze Akhisar tulum cheese, but thawing may make its texture drier or more crumbly. It is usually better to use thawed cheese in cooked dishes, such as pastries or savory fillings, than to serve it in slices.
Can Akhisar tulum cheese replace Parmesan?
Akhisar tulum cheese can replace Parmesan in some savory dishes, but it will bring a saltier, more distinctly Turkish flavor. Crumble or grate a small amount into eggs, vegetables, or pasta, then adjust the added salt to taste.
Is Akhisar tulum cheese healthy to eat?
Akhisar tulum cheese can contribute protein to a meal, but it is also a salty, full-fat aged cheese. Pairing a modest portion with vegetables and less salty foods helps keep it from dominating the meal.
Does Akhisar tulum cheese contain much lactose?
Aged Akhisar tulum cheese may contain less lactose than fresh cheese because some lactose is reduced during cheesemaking and maturation, but it should not be assumed to be lactose-free. People with lactose intolerance can react differently to aged cheeses.

What is Akhisar tulum cheese?
Akhisar tulum cheese is a traditional Turkish aged cheese associated with Akhisar, in Manisa province. Tulum cheeses take their name from the traditional practice of maturing cheese in a skin container, though methods can vary. This style is known for its pronounced saltiness and rich, full-fat character.
In Turkey it is often sliced for breakfast and served with bread, olives and fresh vegetables; it also works on a meze board or crumbled into salads and pastries. Its firm, concentrated flavour pairs especially well with ripe tomatoes and crisp greens. It is high in protein and fat and very low in carbohydrate, so a thin slice can add plenty of flavour to a meal. If you prefer a milder plate, serve a little alongside fresh produce rather than making it the main component.
