Ekici Turkish delight-style strained cheese is a Turkish cheese made by draining the curds to give them a dense, smooth texture. “Turkish delight-style” describes its soft, compact consistency, not a sweet flavour. Mild and creamy, it can be spread on bread or served in slices; in Turkey it fits naturally on a breakfast table with olives and tomatoes. Its richness makes a modest portion feel satisfying, and it also works alongside fresh vegetables or on toast. Per 100 g, it provides 16 g of protein and 22 g of fat.
