Frequently Asked Questions About Bazlama cheese
What is bazlama cheese?
Bazlama cheese is a soft, salty Turkish cheese. Despite its name, it is not bread; it is a dairy cheese commonly eaten on its own, at breakfast, or in a bazlama sandwich.
What does bazlama cheese taste like?
Bazlama cheese tastes mildly dairy-rich and salty, with a soft texture. The exact flavor can vary by maker, so try a small piece before adding extra salt to a sandwich or cooked dish.
Is bazlama cheese the same as feta?
No, bazlama cheese is not simply another name for feta. Bazlama cheese is described as soft and salty, while feta is typically brined and crumbly; their textures and saltiness can differ in recipes.
How is bazlama cheese made?
Bazlama cheese is made as a dairy cheese, but recipes can vary by producer. The name alone does not specify the milk type or exact method, so those details should not be assumed to be the same for every cheese sold under this name.
How do you use bazlama cheese in a bazlama sandwich?
Slice bazlama cheese and place it inside bazlama bread, with tomato or greens if you like. Heat the sandwich in a pan or sandwich press until the bread is warm and crisp; the cheese will soften as it heats.
Does bazlama cheese melt well?
Bazlama cheese softens when heated, but it may not melt into a smooth, stretchy layer. Its behavior depends on its moisture and how it was made, so test a small piece before relying on it for a cheese-pull style sandwich.
Can you grill bazlama cheese?
You can try grilling bazlama cheese, but its soft texture may make it slump or stick rather than hold a firm shape. Use a lightly oiled hot pan and turn it gently, or place it inside bread to contain the softened cheese.
How should you store bazlama cheese after opening?
Store opened bazlama cheese in the refrigerator in a covered container or its original packaging. Keep the cut surface covered to limit drying and odor transfer, and follow any storage instructions on the package.
Can you freeze bazlama cheese?
Yes, bazlama cheese can be frozen, but its soft texture may change after thawing. Freeze it in airtight portions and use thawed cheese in a hot sandwich or cooked dish, where a texture change is less noticeable.
What can you use instead of bazlama cheese?
A soft, mildly salty cheese can stand in for bazlama cheese, but the result will depend on the recipe. For a bazlama sandwich, choose a cheese that softens when warmed; taste it first and adjust other salty ingredients.

What is Bazlama cheese?
Bazlama cheese is a soft, salty Turkish cheese, named for its association with bazlama, the thick, griddle-cooked flatbread. In Turkey it can be served at breakfast with bread, tomatoes and olives, or tucked into warm bazlama for a simple sandwich. Its mild, savoury taste and soft texture also make it easy to crumble over a plate of vegetables.
It provides protein and is relatively rich in fat: a 100 g portion has 15 g of protein. A modest slice with fresh vegetables makes a satisfying addition to a meal; since it is salty, pair it with less salty foods rather than adding extra salt.
