Frequently Asked Questions About Cecis cheese
What is Cecis cheese, and how is it made?
Cecis cheese is a traditional Turkish cheese with a fibrous, strand-like texture. It is typically made by heating and stretching curds into thin threads, then salting or brining them. The exact method and texture can vary between producers.
How do you eat Cecis cheese?
Cecis cheese is often pulled into strands and eaten at breakfast with bread, eggs, or olives. You can also add it to pastries and flatbreads. Since it can be quite salty, taste the dish before adding extra salt.
Is Cecis cheese the same as string cheese?
Not exactly. Cecis cheese is a Turkish traditional cheese that separates into fine strands, while “string cheese” commonly refers to individually portioned cheeses, often mozzarella, in English-speaking markets. Their textures, salt levels, and production methods can differ.
What does Cecis cheese taste like?
Cecis cheese has a mild, milky flavor with noticeable saltiness and a chewy, fibrous texture. Its exact taste varies with the milk, aging, and brining; rinsing or briefly soaking a particularly salty piece can soften its saltiness.
Does Cecis cheese melt well?
Cecis cheese softens and melts when heated, but its strands may remain distinct rather than forming a completely smooth sauce. It works well in pastries, flatbreads, and egg dishes; break it into small pieces for more even melting.
How should you store Cecis cheese after opening?
Keep Cecis cheese refrigerated in an airtight container after opening. If it came packed in brine, storing it in that brine can help keep it moist. Use clean utensils and avoid leaving the cheese at room temperature for extended periods.
Can you freeze Cecis cheese?
Yes, you can freeze Cecis cheese, although freezing and thawing may make its strands less springy and change its texture. It is usually better to use thawed cheese in cooked dishes, such as pastries, than to serve it as a fresh table cheese.
What can you cook with Cecis cheese?
Cecis cheese works in Turkish-style pastries, gözleme, and scrambled eggs. Its strands add a chewy texture, while its salt contributes flavor, so adjust the seasoning of the filling or dish before adding more salt.
Is Cecis cheese healthy to eat?
Cecis cheese provides protein and calcium, but it can also be salty and is relatively rich in fat. It can fit into meals in moderate portions; pair it with vegetables or unsalted foods rather than several salty accompaniments.
Can you eat Cecis cheese during pregnancy?
Yes, Cecis cheese made from pasteurized milk and kept properly refrigerated is generally suitable during pregnancy. Cheese made from unpasteurized milk can carry harmful bacteria, so ask your healthcare professional if you are unsure about the milk used.

What is Cecis cheese?
Cecis cheese is a traditional salty Turkish cheese, particularly associated with eastern parts of the country. It is made from milk and is often formed into fine strands, giving it a distinctive, slightly chewy texture; the exact texture can vary by maker.
In Turkey it is commonly served at breakfast with bread, tomatoes and herbs, and it can also be used in pastries or savoury flatbreads. Its savoury saltiness works well with fresh vegetables. Cecis cheese provides protein but is also relatively rich in fat, so a modest portion makes a satisfying addition to a meal. Pair it with fruit or salad for a lighter plate.
