Ezine kasar cheese is an intensely flavoured, semi-hard cheese associated with the Ezine region of Turkey. It can be made with cow’s, sheep’s and goat’s milk, and the blend affects its taste and texture.
Ezine kasar cheese is made by turning milk into curds, draining and pressing them, then allowing the cheese to mature. The milk blend and ageing process can vary, so cheeses sold under this name may differ in sharpness and firmness.
No. Ezine kasar cheese is semi-hard, while Ezine white cheese is a softer cheese traditionally matured in brine. The shared place name does not mean they are the same style of cheese.
Ezine kasar cheese has a pronounced, savoury flavour and a firm, sliceable texture. The balance of cow’s, sheep’s and goat’s milk, along with how long it matures, can make one version milder or sharper than another.
Yes, Ezine kasar cheese softens and melts when heated, so it works in toasties and other baked dishes. Its strong flavour stands out, and grating it helps distribute it more evenly through a filling.
Yes, Ezine kasar cheese can be used as a filling or topping for Turkish pide. Grate or thinly slice it so it melts across the dough, and pair it with ingredients that will not overwhelm its savoury flavour.
Keep Ezine kasar cheese refrigerated and wrap it so the cut surface is protected from air. A sealed container helps prevent drying and stops the cheese from absorbing other fridge odours; discard it if it develops signs of spoilage.
Yes, Ezine kasar cheese can be frozen, though thawing may make it drier or more crumbly. Use thawed cheese in cooked dishes such as toasties or baked fillings, where a change in texture is less noticeable.
Yes, Ezine kasar cheese can replace cheddar in many cooked recipes, but the flavour will be different. It is typically more distinctively savoury, so taste the dish before adding extra salt or other strongly flavoured ingredients.
It depends on the cheese’s outer coating. A natural rind is generally edible, but wax, packaging or another non-edible coating should be removed; if the type of coating is unclear, trim the outside before serving.
