What is Fethiye Tulum cheese?

What does Fethiye Tulum cheese taste like?

How is Fethiye Tulum cheese made?
Fethiye Tulum cheese is made by curdling milk, draining the curds, salting them, and allowing the cheese to mature. The milk used and the vessel or method for aging can differ between producers, which accounts for variations in texture and taste.
How is Fethiye Tulum cheese different from feta?

How do you eat Fethiye Tulum cheese?
Fethiye Tulum cheese is commonly served in small pieces with bread or as part of a cheese plate. Its strong, salty flavor pairs well with fresh vegetables, olives, or other simple foods that balance its intensity.
Can you cook with Fethiye Tulum cheese?
Yes, Fethiye Tulum cheese works well crumbled into börek, gözleme, and other savory fillings. It softens with heat but may not melt into a smooth, stretchy layer, so it is better used for flavor and texture than as a melting cheese.
Is Fethiye Tulum cheese made from sheep’s milk?
Fethiye Tulum cheese may be made with sheep’s milk, but milk choice and blends can vary by producer. If you need a cheese made exclusively from sheep’s milk, check the specific product details rather than relying on the regional name alone.
How should you store Fethiye Tulum cheese after opening?
Store Fethiye Tulum cheese in a sealed container in the refrigerator after opening. Use a clean utensil when cutting or crumbling it, and avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods to help preserve its texture and flavor.
Can you substitute Fethiye Tulum cheese for feta?
Yes, you can use Fethiye Tulum cheese instead of feta when a recipe needs a salty, crumbly cheese, but expect a firmer texture and a more aged flavor. Taste the dish before adding extra salt, since the cheese is already salty.
Is Fethiye Tulum cheese lactose-free?
Fethiye Tulum cheese should not automatically be considered lactose-free. Aging can reduce lactose in some cheeses, but the amount depends on how the specific cheese is made; people with lactose intolerance may react differently to different products.
