Frequently Asked Questions About Aged Cecil Cheese
What does aged Cecil cheese taste like?
Aged Cecil cheese has a more concentrated, tangy and salty flavour than fresh string cheese. Its strands may feel drier and firmer, so it is often best enjoyed in small pieces alongside bread or milder foods.
How do you pull apart aged Cecil cheese?
Aged Cecil cheese can usually be separated by pulling its strands apart with your fingers. If it feels dry or firm, cut or tear it into smaller pieces first rather than forcing the strands, which may crumble.
Where does aged Cecil cheese come from?
Aged Cecil cheese comes from the Turkish çeçil cheese tradition, associated especially with eastern Anatolia, including Erzurum. Local producers may use different salting and ageing practices, so the texture and flavour are not identical everywhere.
Can aged Cecil cheese be used instead of mozzarella?
Aged Cecil cheese can replace mozzarella when you want a saltier, more pronounced flavour, but it is not a close match in taste or melting behaviour. Use less of it in a recipe and adjust added salt.
Does aged Cecil cheese melt well on pizza?
Aged Cecil cheese softens when heated, but its drier, aged texture may not melt as evenly as mozzarella. Tear it into short strands and combine it with a milder melting cheese if you want a smoother pizza topping.
Is the blue or green appearance of aged Cecil cheese normal?
Aged Cecil cheese may look different depending on how it was matured, but unexpected coloured spots are not automatically safe to eat. If the appearance is unlike the product you bought, or it has an off smell or slimy texture, discard it.
How is aged Cecil cheese different from braided string cheese?
Aged Cecil cheese is matured, while braided string cheese is shaped into a braid and may be sold fresh. The braid describes the shape, not necessarily the ageing; aged Cecil tends to have a firmer texture and stronger flavour.
What can you serve with aged Cecil cheese?
Serve aged Cecil cheese with plain bread, fresh vegetables, olives or fruit to balance its salty, assertive flavour. It also works crumbled or torn into salads and warm flatbreads, where a little cheese adds plenty of savouriness.
How long does aged Cecil cheese last after opening?
After opening, keep aged Cecil cheese refrigerated in a tightly closed container and follow the package’s use-by guidance. Discard it if it develops an unusual smell, slimy surface or unexpected growth; do not rely on trimming questionable areas.
Can you freeze aged Cecil cheese?
Yes, aged Cecil cheese can be frozen, although thawing may make its strands drier or more crumbly. Freeze it in a well-sealed portion and use it in cooked dishes after thawing, where a texture change matters less.

What is Aged Cecil Cheese?
Aged Cecil cheese is a matured form of çeçil, a traditional string cheese associated with eastern Turkey, especially the Erzurum region. Its strands separate easily, and aging gives the cheese a more pronounced, tangy flavour and a firmer texture.
In Turkey, it may be served at breakfast with bread and tea, alongside fresh vegetables, or on a cheese board; it can also be stirred into hot dishes, where it softens and stretches. It is salty and protein-rich, with 24 g of protein per 100 g. Pair a small piece with tomatoes, cucumber or herbs to balance its saltiness.
