Omega 6:3 ratio 3:1
Below the ideal 4:1 — a good omega balance.
Its stringy texture works well at breakfast on its own or with eggs, tomatoes, fresh herbs and whole-grain bread. It can also be added to omelettes, pastries and salads; reduce added salt if the cheese is salty.
Civil cheese softens with heat but does not usually melt into a smooth, stretchy layer like melting cheeses do. Add it near the end of cooking in omelettes, flatbreads or baked dishes to help prevent it from drying out.
Its pulled, fibrous structure is naturally lower in moisture than many soft cheeses, so it can feel firm or dry. Exposure to air after opening can make this more noticeable, so keep it tightly covered and in its brine if supplied.
Keep opened Civil cheese refrigerated in a clean, tightly sealed container. For the best texture and flavour, use it promptly and follow the package use-by date and storage instructions.
It can be frozen, but thawing may make it drier and more crumbly. Frozen and thawed cheese is usually best used in cooked dishes such as omelettes, pastries or savoury bakes.
Civil cheese is known for its separated, string-like strands and generally mild flavour, while kashar is more compact and melts more evenly. Choose Civil cheese for a fibrous texture and kashar when a smooth melt is wanted.
Because it provides protein, Civil cheese can be a convenient part of a post-workout meal. Pairing it with a carbohydrate food such as bread, bulgur, fruit or potatoes makes the meal more balanced after training.
A small serving is not a problem for most people, but dairy foods can trigger reflux, bloating or indigestion in sensitive individuals. If this happens, have it earlier in the evening rather than immediately before bed and keep the portion modest.
Cheese-making reduces some lactose, but Civil cheese is not necessarily lactose-free. People with lactose intolerance should test their own tolerance carefully, while anyone with a milk allergy should avoid it.
If the cheese is stored in brine or tastes very salty, briefly rinsing or soaking it in cold water can remove some surface salt. This may also soften the flavour, so drain it well and use it soon afterwards.
