Bergama tulum cheese with olive oil combines an aged tulum cheese associated with Bergama, in Turkey’s Aegean region, with olive oil. Tulum cheeses are typically firm or crumbly, with a pronounced savoury, salty flavour; the oil adds richness and softens the overall impression.
In Turkey, it is served at breakfast with bread, tomatoes and olives, or offered as part of a meze spread. Elsewhere, it works well crumbled over salads or served with bread as a small cheese-course addition. It is protein-rich, but also high in fat, so a modest serving alongside fresh vegetables makes a balanced, flavourful plate.
