Frequently Asked Questions About Cacık with lor cheese
What is cacık with lor cheese?
Cacık with lor cheese is a Turkish yogurt-and-cucumber dish with fresh lor, a mild, crumbly whey cheese. It is usually served cold, with herbs such as mint or dill; adding lor gives the usual cacık a fuller, slightly grainy texture.
How do you make cacık with lor cheese?
To make cacık with lor cheese, stir crumbled fresh lor into yogurt, then add grated or finely chopped cucumber and enough cold water for the texture you want. Season with salt and mint; garlic and dill are optional.
Is cacık with lor cheese the same as tzatziki?
No. Cacık with lor cheese is a Turkish yogurt-and-cucumber dish that includes lor, while tzatziki is a Greek preparation commonly made with strained yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and herbs. Recipes vary, but lor is the distinctive addition here.
Can you use cottage cheese instead of lor in cacık with lor cheese?
Yes, cottage cheese can stand in for lor in cacık with lor cheese, though its curds may be larger and its flavor slightly different. Drain excess liquid and break up the curds before stirring them into the yogurt.
Should you drain the cucumber for cacık with lor cheese?
Yes, draining grated cucumber helps cacık with lor cheese keep a thicker texture. Squeeze it gently over the sink before mixing; if you prefer a looser, more drinkable cacık, leave some of its juice in.
How long does cacık with lor cheese keep in the fridge?
Cacık with lor cheese is best eaten fresh, but it can be refrigerated in a covered container and used within a short time. Cucumber releases water as it sits, so stir it before serving and discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
What should you serve with cacık with lor cheese?
Serve cacık with lor cheese alongside grilled meats, rice, vegetables, or a Turkish-style spread. Its cool, tangy yogurt base pairs especially well with warm, savory dishes; offer it chilled rather than heating it.
Can you make cacık with lor cheese without garlic?
Yes, cacık with lor cheese works well without garlic. Use mint or dill for a gentler herbal flavor, or keep the seasoning simple with salt. Leaving garlic out also makes the dish more suitable for meals where a milder taste is preferred.
Why is my cacık with lor cheese too thick?
Cacık with lor cheese can become thick when the yogurt is dense or the lor absorbs moisture. Thin it gradually with cold water, stirring between additions, until it reaches the consistency you like; adding too much at once can make it watery.
Can you prepare cacık with lor cheese ahead of time?
Yes, you can mix cacık with lor cheese a few hours ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. For the freshest texture, add the cucumber closer to serving or drain it first, then stir the cacık before bringing it to the table.

What is Cacık with lor cheese?
Cacık with lor cheese is a Turkish take on cacık, the cool combination of yogurt and cucumber, enriched with lor: a mild, fresh Turkish curd cheese. It may be made spoon-thick as a meze or loosened into a cold soup, often with mint and sometimes garlic.
In Turkey it is served chilled alongside everyday meals, especially in warm weather, and pairs naturally with grilled foods, rice or other small dishes. Yogurt and lor give it a useful protein contribution—5.3 g per 100 g—while cucumber keeps the dish light and refreshing. For a thinner, milder version, stir in a little cold water; add the herbs and salt to suit your table.
