Frequently Asked Questions About Fatty Tulum Cheese
What is Fatty Tulum Cheese?
Fatty Tulum Cheese is a rich Turkish cheese in the tulum family, traditionally made by salting and aging cheese in a goatskin or sheepskin bag. Modern versions may be aged in other containers, and the milk and texture can vary by producer.
What does Fatty Tulum Cheese taste like?
Fatty Tulum Cheese tastes rich, savory and often quite salty, with a pronounced aged-cheese flavor. Its texture may be crumbly or firm depending on how it was made and matured, so it is commonly served in small pieces rather than thick slices.
How is Fatty Tulum Cheese traditionally made?
Fatty Tulum Cheese is made by salting cheese curds and leaving them to mature, traditionally inside a goatskin or sheepskin bag. The exact milk blend, aging conditions and texture vary across producers; some contemporary versions mature in containers other than animal skins.
How do you serve Fatty Tulum Cheese?
Serve Fatty Tulum Cheese in small crumbles or slices with bread, tomatoes, olives or fresh herbs. Its bold, salty flavor also works as a finishing touch over salads, eggs or warm vegetables, where a little cheese can season the whole dish.
What is the difference between Fatty Tulum Cheese and feta?
Fatty Tulum Cheese is a Turkish aged cheese traditionally associated with maturation in a skin bag, while feta is a Greek brined cheese with its own protected production tradition. Their saltiness and crumbliness can be similar, but their flavor and aging methods are not identical.
Can you cook with Fatty Tulum Cheese?
Yes, Fatty Tulum Cheese can be used in cooking, especially crumbled into börek, flatbreads, eggs or salads. It softens with heat but may not melt into a smooth, stretchy layer, so combine it with a milder melting cheese when that texture matters.
How should you store Fatty Tulum Cheese after opening?
Keep Fatty Tulum Cheese refrigerated in an airtight container after opening. Use a clean utensil to take out each portion and reseal it promptly to limit drying and odor absorption; follow the package directions if they specify a different storage method.
Can you freeze Fatty Tulum Cheese?
Yes, Fatty Tulum Cheese can be frozen, though thawing may make its texture more crumbly. Wrap it tightly in meal-sized portions, thaw it in the refrigerator, and use it in cooked dishes or crumbled toppings; avoid freezing it again after thawing.
Does Fatty Tulum Cheese melt well?
No, Fatty Tulum Cheese does not always melt smoothly; it tends to soften and can remain crumbly, depending on its age and texture. For a creamy filling or even melt, mix it with a cheese that melts readily rather than relying on it alone.
What can you use instead of Fatty Tulum Cheese?
A well-aged, salty sheep’s-milk cheese can be the closest substitute for Fatty Tulum Cheese, though no swap reproduces its exact flavor. Feta works in salads and crumbled toppings, while a milder melting cheese is a better choice for hot fillings.

What is Fatty Tulum Cheese?
Fatty Tulum Cheese is a richer style of tulum, a traditional Turkish cheese. It is commonly made from sheep’s milk, though milk from goats or cows is used in some regions. The curd is matured in a tulum, traditionally a skin container, or in other vessels.
