Frequently Asked Questions About Ezine cheese (rennet)
What is Ezine cheese?
Ezine cheese is an aged Turkish cheese associated with the Çanakkale region. It is traditionally made from a blend of cow’s, sheep’s, and goat’s milk, then brined, giving it a firm, savory texture and a distinctly tangy, salty flavor.
What does Ezine cheese taste like?
Ezine cheese tastes tangy, savory, and usually quite salty, with a richness that varies according to its milk blend and aging. Sheep’s or goat’s milk can give it a more pronounced flavor, while cow’s milk often makes the taste milder.
How is Ezine cheese different from feta?
Ezine cheese and feta are both brined cheeses, but Ezine cheese comes from a specific Turkish regional tradition and is often made with a blend of cow’s, sheep’s, and goat’s milk. Feta has its own Greek production rules and typically a crumbly texture.
Where does Ezine cheese come from?
Ezine cheese comes from the Çanakkale region of northwestern Turkey and takes its name from the town of Ezine. The protected geographical designation refers to a defined production area and method, so “Ezine-style” on a label does not necessarily mean the cheese is certified.
Is Ezine cheese made with sheep’s milk?
Often, but not exclusively. Traditional Ezine cheese can combine sheep’s, goat’s, and cow’s milk, and the proportions vary between producers. Check the ingredient list if you want to know which milks are in a particular Ezine cheese.
What is the best way to serve Ezine cheese?
Serve Ezine cheese in slices or small pieces alongside bread, olives, tomatoes, and cucumber for a Turkish-style breakfast. Its pronounced saltiness also pairs well with fresh fruit or unsalted crackers, which balance the stronger flavor.
What can I use instead of Ezine cheese?
Feta is usually the closest widely available substitute for Ezine cheese because both are brined and tangy. Choose a less salty feta if the recipe already contains salty ingredients; for a milder result, try a firm white brined cheese.
How should Ezine cheese be stored after opening?
Keep opened Ezine cheese refrigerated in a sealed container so it does not dry out or absorb other odors. If it came in brine, store it in that brine and follow the package instructions; discard it if you notice mold or signs of spoilage.
Can you freeze Ezine cheese?
Yes, Ezine cheese can be frozen, but freezing may make its texture drier and more crumbly after thawing. It is best used in cooked dishes, such as pastries, after freezing rather than served in slices.
Does Ezine cheese melt well?
Ezine cheese softens when heated but does not melt into the stretchy texture of mozzarella or cheddar. Its salty, tangy flavor works well crumbled into pastries and savory fillings, though you may want to reduce added salt in the recipe.

What is Ezine cheese (rennet)?
Ezine cheese made with rennet comes from the Ezine area of Çanakkale in north-western Turkey. Traditionally, it is made from a blend of sheep’s, goat’s and cow’s milk, then matured; the exact blend can vary between producers.
It is savoury and aromatic, with a firm yet pleasantly yielding texture.
