Altınkılıç Tulum Cheese is a Turkish aged cheese in the tulum style. It has a more concentrated flavour and a firmer, often crumbly texture than fresh cheeses; the package gives the specific ingredients for this product.
Altınkılıç Tulum Cheese has a pronounced, savoury flavour typical of aged tulum cheese. Its strength can seem more noticeable than that of a mild fresh cheese, so try a small piece first when serving it on a cheese board.
Altınkılıç Tulum Cheese is typically more aged, compact and crumbly than feta. Feta is commonly kept in brine and tends to be moister; both cheeses vary by producer, so their saltiness and texture are not identical in every case.
Serve Altınkılıç Tulum Cheese in small pieces with bread, olives, tomatoes or walnuts. Its bold flavour also works with fruit or honey, and crumbling it over a salad is an easy way to use it without overpowering every bite.
Keep Altınkılıç Tulum Cheese refrigerated in a tightly closed container after opening. Use a clean, dry utensil when handling it, and follow the package’s guidance for how long to keep the opened cheese.
Yes, you can freeze Altınkılıç Tulum Cheese, but thawing may make its texture drier and more crumbly. Freeze it in a well-sealed portion and use it in cooked dishes or fillings rather than relying on it for neat slices.
Altınkılıç Tulum Cheese softens when heated, but it may not melt into the smooth, stretchy layer you get from cheeses made for melting. Crumble it into a toast or hot dish, or combine it with a better-melting cheese.
Another aged, crumbly tulum cheese is the closest substitute for Altınkılıç Tulum Cheese. Feta can work in salads or fillings, but it is usually moister and may taste different, so adjust the amount to suit the recipe.
Altınkılıç Tulum Cheese can taste quite salty because it is an aged cheese, though the exact saltiness varies by product. Taste it before adding salt to a recipe, especially when pairing it with olives or other salty ingredients.
Discard Altınkılıç Tulum Cheese if it develops unusual mould, a slimy surface, a distinctly unpleasant smell or a clearly changed taste. A strong aroma can be normal for aged cheese, so look for unusual changes in appearance and texture too.

Altınkılıç Tulum Cheese is a branded Turkish take on tulum, a salted, aged cheese associated with several regions of Turkey. Traditional tulum cheeses vary by region and milk, and are named for the skins in which they were once matured. The cheese is typically firm and crumbly, with a savoury, salty flavour that can grow pleasantly sharp with age.
In Turkey, it is often served at breakfast with bread, olives and fresh vegetables, or offered on a cheese board; it also works well crumbled into salads and pastries. It is a protein-rich, energy-dense cheese, providing 23.5 g of protein per 100 g. Its assertive flavour means a small portion can go a long way, especially alongside tomatoes, cucumber or leafy greens.
