Omega 6:3 ratio 4:1
Below the ideal 4:1 — a good omega balance.
Keep it refrigerated in a sealed container, ideally covered by its original brine. Use clean utensils to remove cubes, as introducing crumbs or moisture can shorten its keeping quality.
Yes, but freezing can make it more crumbly and slightly drier after thawing. Thawed cheese is usually best in cooked dishes such as omelettes, pastries, and baked vegetables.
Briefly soaking the cubes in cold water or milk can reduce surface salt. Avoid prolonged soaking, which can dilute the flavour and soften the texture too much.
Heating does not remove the protein, although it changes the cheese's structure. White cheese tends to soften, release some moisture, or brown rather than melt into long stretchy strands.
Its acidity, salt content, and curd structure differ from cheeses made for smooth melting. It can become creamy or soft with heat, but it usually holds its shape or crumbles instead of becoming elastic.
It works especially well with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, herbs, roasted peppers, and olive oil. For a sweet-savoury combination, serve it with melon, figs, peaches, or a small amount of fruit.
Add it just before serving so the cubes stay firm and the salad remains fresh. If it sits too long with juicy vegetables or acidic dressing, the cheese can soften and the salad may become watery.
They are similar brined cheeses, but they are not necessarily identical. Feta has protected production standards in the EU, while Turkish white cheese can be made from different milks and varies widely in saltiness, tang, and firmness.
People advised to restrict sodium, including some people with high blood pressure, kidney disease, or fluid-retention issues, should be mindful of brined cheeses. Those with a milk allergy should avoid it entirely; lactose tolerance varies by individual.
Discard it if it develops an off or putrid smell, a slimy surface, unusual pink, green, or black mould, or an unexpected bitter taste. A tangy aroma can be normal for brined cheese, but visible or odour changes should not be ignored.
