What is BES Tulum Cheese?
BES Tulum Cheese is an aged Turkish cheese in the tulum style, known for its assertive flavour and crumbly texture. Its savoury, salty taste is concentrated, so a little can go a long way. Tulum cheeses are traditionally associated with Turkey, where they are enjoyed at breakfast, alongside bread and fresh vegetables, or served as part of a meze spread.
