Crumbled tulum cheese is tulum cheese sold in small pieces rather than as a whole block or wheel. Tulum is a Turkish cheese with regional styles; its flavor and firmness vary, but it is often tangy, savory, and notably salty.
Serve crumbled tulum cheese over bread or crackers, or add it to a salad or cheese board. Its assertive flavor pairs well with fresh vegetables and olives, so a little can add plenty of character.
Yes, crumbled tulum cheese can replace feta in salads, pastries, and savory fillings, but expect a stronger, often saltier flavor. Start with less than the recipe calls for, taste, and adjust the seasoning before adding extra salt.
Crumbled tulum cheese softens when heated but usually does not melt into a smooth, stretchy layer. It works well scattered into baked dishes or eggs when you want small, flavorful pieces rather than a uniform melted topping.
Keep crumbled tulum cheese in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator after opening. Use a clean utensil when serving and avoid leaving it out for extended periods; discard it if you notice mold or an unusual smell.
Yes, you can freeze crumbled tulum cheese, though thawing may make it drier or more crumbly. Save frozen portions for cooked dishes such as pastries or baked meals, where the texture change is less noticeable.
Briefly soak crumbled tulum cheese in cold water, then drain and taste it. A short soak can remove some surface salt, but leaving it submerged too long may also wash away its distinctive flavor and soften its texture.
Crumbled tulum cheese may be made from sheep’s milk, goat’s milk, cow’s milk, or a blend. The milk depends on the producer and regional style, so the word “tulum” alone does not identify the milk used.
Some traditional tulum cheeses are aged in animal-skin bags, while others are matured in different containers. Crumbling describes the cheese’s form, not its aging method, so crumbled tulum cheese is not necessarily skin-aged.
Crumbled tulum cheese adds a savory, tangy bite to salads, stuffed vegetables, savory pastries, and eggs. Because it can dominate mild ingredients, pair it with fresh produce or use it as a finishing crumble rather than the main filling.

Crumbled tulum cheese is aged Turkish cheese broken into small pieces. Tulum is traditionally made from sheep’s, goat’s or cow’s milk, depending on the region, and matured in a skin or other container. Its firm, crumbly texture and pronounced salty, tangy flavour make even a little go a long way.
In Turkey, it is commonly served at breakfast with bread, olives and tomatoes, and can also be folded into pastries or scattered over salads. Outside Turkey, try it wherever you might use a punchy crumbly cheese, while keeping its saltiness in mind. It is rich in protein and fat; use a modest amount and taste before adding extra salt.
