Diyarbakır flat cheese is a traditional cheese from the Diyarbakır area of southeastern Turkey, known for its pressed, flattened shape and pronounced saltiness. It is made by curdling milk, shaping the curds and allowing the cheese to mature; texture can vary between producers. The result is usually firm enough to slice, with a savoury flavour that stands up well alongside plain bread.
In its home region, it is commonly served at breakfast with bread and fresh vegetables, and it also fits naturally on a cheese board. English-speaking readers can use it much like other salty table cheeses: try it with tomatoes or cucumber, or crumble a little over a salad. It provides protein and calcium, while also being relatively rich in fat and salt, so a thin slice is often plenty.
