Frequently Asked Questions About Enka Tulum Cheese
What is Enka Tulum Cheese?
Enka Tulum Cheese is a Turkish aged cheese in the tulum style, known for a pronounced, salty flavor. Traditional tulum cheese is matured in a goatskin bag, but producers may use different methods, so don’t assume Enka’s milk or aging process without checking its package.
Is Enka Tulum Cheese the same as feta?
No, Enka Tulum Cheese is not feta. Both can be salty and crumbly, but tulum cheese is typically aged for a stronger, more concentrated flavor, while feta has its own brined style and characteristic texture.
How do you serve Enka Tulum Cheese on a cheese board?
Serve Enka Tulum Cheese in small crumbles or pieces with bread, olives, fresh vegetables, or fruit such as grapes. Its assertive saltiness pairs well with mild accompaniments, so it need not be the only cheese on the board.
Can Enka Tulum Cheese be used in börek?
Yes, Enka Tulum Cheese works as a börek filling, either on its own or mixed with a milder cheese. Crumble it evenly through the filling and taste before adding salt, since tulum cheese can already be quite salty.
Does Enka Tulum Cheese melt well?
Enka Tulum Cheese softens when heated, but it may not melt into a smooth, stretchy layer. Crumbled over a hot dish or mixed into a filling, it adds a strong cheese flavor without needing to melt completely.
What milk is used to make Enka Tulum Cheese?
The milk used in Enka Tulum Cheese can’t be confirmed from the product name alone. Tulum cheeses may be made with different kinds of milk or blends, so check the package for the specific milk used in this product.
How should you store Enka Tulum Cheese after opening?
Keep Enka Tulum Cheese refrigerated after opening and seal it well in its original packaging or an airtight container. Use clean utensils when serving, and follow any storage directions printed on the package.
Can you freeze Enka Tulum Cheese?
Yes, Enka Tulum Cheese can be frozen, though thawing may make its texture drier or more crumbly. Freeze it in a well-sealed portion and use the thawed cheese in cooked dishes or fillings rather than expecting its original texture.
Is Enka Tulum Cheese lactose-free?
No, you shouldn’t assume Enka Tulum Cheese is lactose-free. Aging can reduce lactose in some cheeses, but the amount varies and the product name alone doesn’t establish it; people who need to avoid lactose should check the package details.
Why is Enka Tulum Cheese so crumbly?
Enka Tulum Cheese can crumble because tulum-style cheeses are often drained and aged until relatively firm and low in moisture. Crumbling is a normal texture for this style, rather than a sign that the cheese has spoiled.

What is Enka Tulum Cheese?
Enka Tulum Cheese is a Turkish-style aged cheese made in the tradition of tulum, a family of cheeses whose name comes from the skin bags once used for maturing them. Recipes vary by region and may use different kinds of milk; this packaged version brings that distinctive, savoury style to the table.
It is typically salty and tangy, with a firm yet crumbly texture. In Turkey, tulum cheese is enjoyed at breakfast with bread, olives and tomatoes, or served as part of a meze spread. It also works well crumbled over salads or alongside fresh vegetables. Its nutritional profile is rich in protein and calcium, as well as fat; a modest portion lets its bold flavour go a long way.
