Frequently Asked Questions About Tulum Cheese
What does Tulum cheese taste like?
Tulum cheese usually tastes tangy, savory, and quite distinctive, with texture ranging from crumbly to firm. Its flavor varies with the milk, region, and aging method, so sliced Tulum cheese may be milder or firmer than traditionally aged varieties.
Is Tulum cheese similar to feta?
Tulum cheese and feta are both tangy, salty cheeses, but they are not the same. Tulum is commonly aged and can be firmer or more crumbly, while feta is typically kept in brine and has a moist, tender texture.
How is Tulum cheese traditionally made?
Tulum cheese is traditionally made by draining curds, salting them, and leaving them to mature, sometimes inside a goat- or sheep-skin bag called a tulum. Modern producers may use other containers, and methods vary by region.
Can you cook with Tulum cheese?
Yes, Tulum cheese works in cooked dishes such as börek, savory pastries, and omelets. It may soften or crumble rather than stretch like mozzarella, so add it for flavor instead of expecting a stretchy cheese topping.
How do you serve Tulum cheese?
Serve Tulum cheese with bread, olives, tomatoes, or other simple accompaniments that let its tangy flavor stand out. Crumble it over salads or use slices in a sandwich; its salty character pairs especially well with fresh vegetables.
How should you store sliced Tulum cheese after opening?
Keep sliced Tulum cheese refrigerated in an airtight container after opening. Separate the slices with parchment if they stick together, and keep them away from uncovered foods so the cheese does not dry out or absorb other odors.
Can Tulum cheese be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze Tulum cheese, but thawing may make it more crumbly and change its texture. Freeze it in small, tightly wrapped portions and use the thawed cheese in cooked dishes, where a texture change matters less.
Is Tulum cheese always made from goat's milk?
No, Tulum cheese is not always made from goat's milk. Depending on the regional style and producer, it may be made from sheep's milk, goat's milk, cow's milk, or a blend; traditional versions often use sheep's milk.
What is the difference between Erzincan and Izmir Tulum cheese?
Erzincan and Izmir Tulum cheeses are regional styles with different production traditions and textures. Erzincan Tulum is often associated with sheep's milk and a more crumbly texture, while Izmir Tulum is commonly milder and easier to slice.
Can sliced Tulum cheese go on pizza?
Yes, sliced Tulum cheese can be used on pizza, especially when you want a tangy, savory flavor. It may not melt into a stretchy layer, so combine it with a good melting cheese or crumble it over the pizza near the end of baking.

What is Tulum Cheese?
Dilimli Tulum Peyniri, listed in English as Tulum Cheese, is sliced tulum, a traditional Turkish cheese made in regional varieties, often from sheep’s or goat’s milk. Traditionally, tulum cheeses are aged in a skin or other container, developing a distinctive, robust flavour; the sliced form is convenient for serving and sandwiches.
Its salty, tangy taste and firm, sometimes crumbly texture work well at breakfast with bread and fresh vegetables, or on a cheese board. In Turkey it is also commonly enjoyed alongside tea. It is a rich cheese, providing 22 g of protein per 100 g, and a little can add plenty of flavour. Pair it with tomatoes or cucumber for a fresher, lighter plate.
