Frequently Asked Questions About Ekici Lokum Cheese
What is Ekici Lokum Cheese?
Ekici Lokum Cheese is a soft, moist, mildly salty white cheese sold as a breakfast cheese. Its name refers to its tender, lokum-like texture; it is not a sweet Turkish delight.
Why is Ekici Lokum Cheese called “Lokum”?
“Lokum” describes the cheese’s soft, tender texture, not its flavor. Ekici Lokum Cheese is a savory, mildly salty cheese, so it is served like other white cheeses rather than eaten as a dessert.
Is Ekici Lokum Cheese the same as Turkish beyaz peynir?
Ekici Lokum Cheese is a Turkish white cheese, but it is specifically known for its soft, moist texture. Beyaz peynir covers a wider range of textures and flavors, so firmer varieties may slice and crumble differently.
Does Ekici Lokum Cheese taste like feta?
Ekici Lokum Cheese and feta are both salty-style white cheeses, but they are not identical. Ekici Lokum is described as mild and tender; feta is often tangier and firmer, though both can vary by brand and style.
How do you serve Ekici Lokum Cheese?
Serve Ekici Lokum Cheese chilled or at cool room temperature, in small cubes or spooned onto a plate. It works well with bread, tomatoes, cucumbers, and olives; add extra salt to the meal only after tasting it.
Do you need to rinse Ekici Lokum Cheese before eating it?
No, Ekici Lokum Cheese does not need rinsing before serving. Rinsing can wash away some of its mild saltiness and leave the already moist cheese watery; taste a piece first if you are unsure about its salt level.
Can Ekici Lokum Cheese go in a salad?
Yes, Ekici Lokum Cheese can be added to salads in small cubes. Its tender texture pairs well with crisp vegetables, but fold it in gently so the pieces do not break apart.
Does Ekici Lokum Cheese melt well?
No, Ekici Lokum Cheese is not a stretchy melting cheese like mozzarella. It softens when heated and may crumble, so use it as a savory topping or filling rather than expecting melted cheese strands.
Can you use Ekici Lokum Cheese in an omelet?
Yes, crumble Ekici Lokum Cheese into an omelet near the end of cooking. It softens and adds a mild, salty flavor; taste before adding extra salt, since the cheese seasons the eggs too.
How should you store Ekici Lokum Cheese after opening?
Keep Ekici Lokum Cheese refrigerated in a covered container after opening, and handle it with a clean utensil. If the package contains brine, keep the cheese in that liquid; follow the package for its use-by date and storage directions.

What is Ekici Lokum Cheese?
Ekici Lokum Cheese is a soft Turkish white cheese sold in small pieces. It has a moist, smooth texture and a mild saltiness, making it gentler in flavour than aged, sharper cheeses. Its tender consistency works well both in slices and in bite-sized pieces on a plate.
In Turkey, it is commonly served at breakfast with bread, tomatoes, cucumbers and olives, often alongside tea. You can enjoy it in a similar breakfast spread, or add it to sandwiches and salads.
