Aknaz reduced-fat strained cheese is a Turkish-style cheese made by draining whey from curds, giving it a thick, smooth texture. This packaged version has less fat than a full-fat strained cheese, while keeping the mild, slightly tangy flavour typical of the style.
In Turkey it is often spread on bread at breakfast, served with olives and tomatoes, or used in savoury pastries and other home cooking. Elsewhere, try it on toast, with fresh vegetables, or as a creamy addition to dips. It provides protein and calcium, with 15.5 g of protein per 100 g. Choose it when you want a rich, spreadable cheese with reduced fat, and pair it with fresh produce for a simple snack.
