Ezine Cheese (Full Fat) is a traditional Turkish cheese associated with the Ezine district of Çanakkale. It is commonly made with sheep’s milk, sometimes blended with goat’s or cow’s milk, then matured to develop its characteristic savoury flavour.
In Turkey, it often appears at breakfast alongside olives, tomatoes and fresh bread, and can also be crumbled over salads or used in pastries. Its texture is soft yet substantial, with a slight crumble, and its taste is rich and salty. It is a protein- and fat-rich cheese, with 18 g of protein per 100 g and very little carbohydrate. Pair it with fresh vegetables or fruit for a lighter, balanced plate.

Full-fat Ezine cheese is a traditional Turkish brined white cheese associated with the Ezine area of Çanakkale. It is commonly made from a blend of sheep’s, goat’s and cow’s milk, then matured in brine for its characteristic savory flavor and crumbly texture.
Full-fat Ezine cheese is a Turkish regional cheese, while feta is a Greek cheese with its own protected production rules. Ezine cheese is commonly made from a mix of sheep’s, goat’s and cow’s milk, so its flavor and texture can differ from feta.
Full-fat Ezine cheese comes from the Ezine area of Çanakkale in northwestern Türkiye. The Ezine name is geographically protected, and the traditional cheese is associated with production in the region rather than simply being any Turkish-style white cheese.
Full-fat Ezine cheese is commonly made from sheep’s, goat’s and cow’s milk combined. The exact blend can vary between producers, so the name alone does not tell you the precise proportions or mean that every version uses the same milk mix.
Full-fat Ezine cheese is often served in thick slices as part of a Turkish breakfast, alongside bread, olives, tomatoes and cucumber. Its pronounced savory taste also works well crumbled into salads or used as a filling for pastries.
Yes, full-fat Ezine cheese can be used in cooked dishes, especially börek, savory pastries and omelets. It softens and adds a salty, tangy flavor, so taste the filling before adding extra salt.
Keep full-fat Ezine cheese refrigerated in a covered container with its brine. If the brine no longer covers the cheese, use suitable brine rather than leaving it exposed; handle it with clean utensils and follow the package’s storage instructions.
Yes, full-fat Ezine cheese can be frozen, but thawing may make it more crumbly or watery. Use previously frozen cheese in cooked dishes such as pastries or omelets, where a change in texture is less noticeable.
No, full-fat Ezine cheese should not be assumed to be lactose-free. Brining and maturation may reduce lactose, but the amount varies by product; people with lactose intolerance should use their own tolerance and the product’s information to guide portions.
Yes, full-fat Ezine cheese can be eaten during pregnancy if it is made from pasteurized milk and has been kept refrigerated. Production methods vary, so check the label for pasteurization; ask your healthcare professional if that information is unclear.
