What is Dost Low Fat Strained Cheese?
Dost low-fat strained cheese is a Turkish dairy product made by draining cheese to give it a thicker, spoonable texture. Its flavour is mild with a gentle tang, and it works well spread on toast or served at breakfast with tomatoes, cucumber, olives and herbs. You can also stir it into savoury fillings or use it as a creamy accompaniment to vegetables.
It is notably high in protein and relatively low in fat: a 100 g portion provides 12.5 g of protein. That makes it a useful option when you want a filling cheese without a particularly rich taste. For a lighter meal, serve a modest portion with fresh vegetables, or season it with dill and black pepper instead of adding a heavier topping.
