Bahcivan Noktasi strained cheese is a Turkish yogurt-based dairy product with moisture removed to give it a thicker, soft consistency. Its flavour is mild with a gentle tang, and its creamy texture makes it easy to spread.
In Turkey, it is commonly enjoyed at breakfast with bread, tomatoes, cucumber or olives, and can also be used in sandwiches or savoury pastries. For English-speaking readers, it works much like a mild spreadable cheese at breakfast or as a simple snack. It is relatively low in fat and provides 10.5 g of protein per 100 g. Pair it with fresh vegetables for a lighter plate.
