What is Basket cheese with sun-dried tomato?
Basket cheese with sun-dried tomato combines Turkish basket cheese, shaped as it drains in a woven mould, with pieces of concentrated, tangy-sweet tomato. The milk and exact firmness can vary by producer, but the cheese is typically sliceable and semi-hard, with a savoury, salty flavour that balances the tomatoes.
In Turkey, it fits naturally on a breakfast spread with bread and olives, or on a meze table; it also works in sandwiches and salads. Elsewhere, try it with crusty bread, fresh vegetables or alongside roasted vegetables. It provides protein—18.5 g per 100 g—while its salty, rich character means a modest portion can go a long way. Pair it with plenty of fresh produce for a lighter plate.
