No, Ekici Low-Fat White Cheese is not feta, though both are brined white cheeses and can be used in similar dishes. Turkish beyaz peynir and Greek feta differ in their traditional production and can vary in taste and texture.
Ekici Low-Fat White Cheese has the tangy, savory character typical of Turkish-style white cheese. Its saltiness and firmness can affect how it tastes on its own, so try a small piece before adding extra salt to a recipe.
Yes, Ekici Low-Fat White Cheese can stand in for feta in salads. Crumble it over the vegetables, then taste before adding salt; the two cheeses are similar in use but may not give exactly the same flavor or texture.
Serve Ekici Low-Fat White Cheese in slices or crumbles alongside bread, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and fresh herbs. It also works mashed with herbs as a simple spread; taste it first before seasoning the rest of the breakfast.
Yes, crumble Ekici Low-Fat White Cheese into an omelet as the eggs finish cooking. Adding it near the end helps keep its savory flavor distinct, and tasting before salting prevents the omelet from becoming too salty.
Ekici Low-Fat White Cheese softens when heated, but it may not melt into a smooth, stretchy sauce like some melting cheeses. It is better suited to crumbled fillings, eggs, and baked savory dishes than to a smooth cheese sauce.
You can try grilling Ekici Low-Fat White Cheese, but a soft or crumbly piece may fall apart rather than hold its shape. Use a thick slice and a well-heated grill, or put the cheese in a grill-safe dish to keep it contained.
Yes, Ekici Low-Fat White Cheese can be frozen, but thawing may make it drier and more crumbly. Freeze it in a sealed portion and use the thawed cheese in cooked fillings or eggs rather than expecting its original texture.
Keep Ekici Low-Fat White Cheese refrigerated in a clean, sealed container, preferably in its original brine. Use a clean utensil each time, and follow the package directions if the brine runs out.
Use Ekici Low-Fat White Cheese in savory pastries, omelets, stuffed vegetables, or a baked pasta dish. Crumble it into the filling and adjust added salt only after tasting, since the cheese already brings a savory, brined flavor.

Ekici low-fat white cheese is a packaged Turkish-style white cheese made from milk. It offers a lighter take on the brined cheeses commonly served at Turkish tables, and can be sliced, crumbled or spread onto bread.
Its gently tangy, savoury flavour and soft, sliceable texture pair well with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and fresh bread. In Turkey, it is a familiar part of breakfast, often served with tea; it also works in salads, pastries and simple sandwiches. With 18 g of protein per 100 g, it brings a substantial amount of protein for a cheese, while a roughly 30 g piece makes a modest serving. Add fresh vegetables for an easy, balanced plate.
