Divle Tulum Cheese is a traditional Turkish cheese made in the Divle area of Karaman and matured in a natural cave. It is known for its bold, savory flavor and the distinctive reddish color that develops on its surface.
The reddish color on Divle Tulum Cheese develops through contact with the natural microbial environment of the cave where it matures. It is not usually a sign that coloring was added, but discard cheese that has an unusual smell or other signs of spoilage.
Divle Tulum Cheese is made in the Divle area of Karaman, in central Türkiye, and aged in a local natural cave known as Divle Obruğu. The cave’s cool, humid conditions help shape the cheese’s characteristic flavor and surface.
Divle Tulum Cheese is traditionally made by curdling sheep’s milk, salting the curds, packing them into a skin casing, and aging the cheese in the cave. Producers may vary the milk blend and details of the process.
Divle Tulum Cheese has a rich, savory and often tangy flavor, with a firm, crumbly texture. Its cave aging gives it a more pronounced character than a mild fresh cheese, so a small piece can add plenty of flavor to a meal.
Divle Tulum Cheese is distinguished by its origin in the Divle area and its traditional cave aging, which contribute to its characteristic flavor and reddish surface. Other tulum cheeses can be made with different milks and aged in different containers or conditions.
The clean, intact reddish cheese surface can generally be eaten, but the animal-skin casing used to age the cheese is packaging and should be removed. If the cheese has an unusual odor or visible spoilage, do not eat it.
Serve Divle Tulum Cheese in thin pieces with bread, fruit, or olives, or crumble a little over a salad. Its assertive, salty flavor pairs well with simple foods and can easily overwhelm delicate ingredients.
Wrap Divle Tulum Cheese tightly or place it in an airtight container and refrigerate it after opening. Keep the cut surface clean and dry, and store it away from strongly scented foods to help prevent flavor transfer.
During pregnancy, choose Divle Tulum Cheese only when it is clearly identified as made from pasteurized milk; traditional versions may use raw milk. If the milk status is unclear, avoid it and ask your healthcare professional for advice.

Divle Tulum Cheese is a traditional Turkish cheese associated with Divle, a village in Karaman province. Usually made from sheep’s milk, it is packed in a skin and matured in the cool Divle Obruk cave. Aging gives it a bold, savoury, slightly tangy flavour and a firm texture that breaks into crumbly pieces.
In Turkey, it is enjoyed at breakfast with bread and tea, or served in small amounts as part of a meze spread. Its rich taste makes it satisfying, and it is a protein-rich cheese; a 100 g portion provides 23 g of protein. Try a thin slice with tomatoes, cucumber and fresh greens, or crumble a little over a salad when you want its distinctive flavour without making it the centre of the meal.
