Frequently Asked Questions About Cyprus tulum cheese
What is Cyprus tulum cheese?
Cyprus tulum cheese is a salty, aged cheese made in the tulum tradition. Its texture and flavor vary by producer, but it is generally firm or crumbly and more intensely savory than a fresh cheese.
What does Cyprus tulum cheese taste like?
Cyprus tulum cheese tastes salty, tangy, and savory, with a stronger flavor than fresh cheeses. The exact sharpness and firmness depend on the milk and how long the cheese has been aged.
How do you serve Cyprus tulum cheese?
Serve Cyprus tulum cheese crumbled or cut into small pieces alongside bread, olives, tomatoes, or other fresh foods. Its pronounced saltiness makes it especially useful as a flavorful accent rather than the only topping in a dish.
Is Cyprus tulum cheese the same as feta?
No, Cyprus tulum cheese and feta are different cheeses. Tulum cheese is typically aged and has a firmer, more crumbly texture, while feta is commonly brined and tends to be moist and easier to crumble.
What milk is used to make Cyprus tulum cheese?
Cyprus tulum cheese may be made with sheep’s, goat’s, or cow’s milk, depending on the producer; some versions use a blend. The name alone does not identify one fixed milk recipe.
Can you cook with Cyprus tulum cheese?
Yes, Cyprus tulum cheese can add a salty, savory flavor to pastries, pasta, and baked dishes. It may soften or break apart rather than melt into a smooth, stretchy layer, so add it as a crumble or near the end of cooking.
How should you store Cyprus tulum cheese after opening?
Keep Cyprus tulum cheese covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator after opening. Use a clean utensil when serving, and discard it if you notice an unusual odor, discoloration, or mold.
Can Cyprus tulum cheese be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze Cyprus tulum cheese, but freezing may make its texture drier and more crumbly after thawing. It is usually best used in cooked dishes after freezing rather than served as a fresh cheese board cheese.
What can I use instead of Cyprus tulum cheese?
A salty, aged sheep’s-milk cheese or another firm, crumbly aged cheese can stand in for Cyprus tulum cheese. The flavor will not be identical, so use a smaller amount first and adjust the salt in the recipe.
Is Cyprus tulum cheese low in lactose?
Aged Cyprus tulum cheese may contain less lactose than fresh milk, but it is not necessarily lactose-free. People with lactose intolerance can react differently, so try only a small amount if you know you tolerate aged cheeses.

What is Cyprus tulum cheese?
Cyprus tulum cheese is a traditional Cypriot aged cheese, typically made with sheep’s or goat’s milk. As with other tulum cheeses, it is salted and matured; methods and milk blends can vary between producers. The result is a firm, savoury cheese with a pronounced salty flavour.
In Cyprus it can be served with bread, olives and fresh vegetables, or included on a meze table. It also works well crumbled over salads or used in savoury pastries. It is protein-rich, but also high in fat and salt, so a modest portion alongside tomatoes, cucumber or other fresh produce makes a balanced pairing.
