Frequently Asked Questions About Cheese 30% Fat
What is kaşar cheese?
Kaşar cheese is a Turkish semi-hard cheese made by curdling and working milk, then allowing the cheese to mature. Fresh kaşar is mild and pliable, while aged kaşar develops a firmer texture and a sharper, more concentrated flavor.
Is kaşar cheese the same as cheddar?
No, kaşar cheese and cheddar are different cheeses, although both can be sliced and melted. Kaşar is a Turkish cheese with fresh and aged styles; cheddar has its own production and aging traditions and often tastes sharper or tangier.
Can I use kaşar cheese instead of mozzarella on pizza?
Yes, kaşar cheese can replace mozzarella on pizza and melts into a savory topping. It usually has a more pronounced flavor and may not produce the same stretchy, mild result as low-moisture mozzarella, so combining the two is another option.
Why does kaşar cheese melt unevenly?
Kaşar cheese can melt unevenly when it is cut into thick pieces, added straight from the refrigerator, or heated too quickly. Grate it or slice it thinly and spread it evenly over the dish; fresh kaşar generally melts more readily than aged kaşar.
How should I store kaşar cheese after opening?
Keep kaşar cheese refrigerated and tightly wrapped, or place it in a sealed container to limit drying and odor transfer. Rewrap the cut surface after each use, and follow the package’s storage instructions and use-by date.
Can you freeze kaşar cheese?
Yes, kaşar cheese can be frozen, though thawing may make it crumbly and less convenient to slice. Divide it into portions, wrap them airtight, and thaw in the refrigerator; use thawed kaşar in cooked dishes for the best texture.
How can you tell if kaşar cheese has gone bad?
Discard kaşar cheese if it develops mold, an unusual smell, or a slimy surface. Mold can spread beyond the visible spot, especially in sliced or grated cheese, so removing only the affected patch is not a safe fix.
Is kaşar cheese lactose-free?
No, kaşar cheese should not automatically be considered lactose-free. Aging reduces lactose, so aged kaşar may contain less than fresh kaşar, but the amount varies; people with lactose intolerance should use their own tolerance and product information as a guide.
What dishes can you make with kaşar cheese?
Kaşar cheese works well in Turkish toasties, börek, gözleme, baked pasta, and vegetable casseroles. Grating or thinly slicing it helps it melt evenly; aged kaşar adds a stronger flavor, while fresh kaşar gives a milder, softer finish.
Can kaşar cheese be served on a cheese board?
Yes, kaşar cheese is suitable for a cheese board, especially alongside olives, bread, fresh fruit, or nuts. Fresh kaşar is easy to slice and mild; aged kaşar is firmer and pairs well with more robust accompaniments.

What is Cheese 30% Fat?
Cheese 30% Fat refers here to kaşar, a Turkish semi-hard cheese traditionally made from cow’s milk. It has a compact, sliceable texture and a mild, savoury flavour that becomes more pronounced as the cheese matures. The 30% in the product name describes its stated fat category, rather than meaning that 30% of the cheese’s weight is fat.
In Turkey, kaşar is a familiar breakfast cheese and a favourite for toasties and sandwiches; it also melts well over pide and other hot dishes. Elsewhere, it works much like other firm melting cheeses. It provides protein and calcium, while still being relatively rich, so pair a modest slice with tomatoes or wholegrain bread, or use a thinner layer in a lighter sandwich.
