Full-fat aged cow tulum cheese is a Turkish cheese made from cow’s milk, salted and left to mature. It typically has a rich, tangy, salty flavour and a firm or crumbly texture; the exact character varies with the producer and aging method.
Full-fat aged cow tulum cheese is made by curdling cow’s milk, draining and salting the curds, then aging them. Traditionally, tulum cheese may mature in a skin or other container, while modern producers may use different aging vessels.
Full-fat aged cow tulum cheese is generally more intensely savoury and crumbly than feta. Feta is commonly stored in brine and has a moist texture, while tulum cheese is salted and matured; recipes and texture can vary between producers.
Full-fat aged cow tulum cheese tastes savoury, salty and tangy, with a concentrated dairy flavour. Longer or drier aging can make it more crumbly and pronounced, so it works well in small amounts alongside milder foods.
Store full-fat aged cow tulum cheese in a tightly closed container in the refrigerator after opening. Use a clean utensil each time and avoid leaving it out for extended periods; follow any storage directions on its package if they differ.
Yes, full-fat aged cow tulum cheese can be crumbled into eggs, pastries or hot pasta. It softens with heat but usually does not melt into the smooth, stretchy texture of a melting cheese, so add it as a salty finishing ingredient.
No, full-fat aged cow tulum cheese is made from cow’s milk, whereas sheep or goat tulum uses milk from those animals. They share the tulum style of salting and maturation, but their flavour and texture can differ.
Aging reduces lactose in many cheeses, but it does not guarantee that full-fat aged cow tulum cheese is lactose-free. If you are highly sensitive to lactose, check the product information or choose a cheese specifically verified as lactose-free.
Yes, you can freeze full-fat aged cow tulum cheese, but thawing may make it drier or more crumbly. Freeze it in airtight portions and thaw it in the refrigerator; use thawed cheese in cooked dishes if the changed texture is noticeable.
Full-fat aged cow tulum cheese pairs well with bread, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and eggs. Its strong, salty taste also complements unsalted potatoes or pastry, so keep other ingredients mild and taste before adding extra salt.

Full-fat aged cow tulum cheese is a Turkish cheese made from cow’s milk and matured in the tulum tradition. Aging develops its assertive, savoury flavour; depending on the producer, the texture can be crumbly or fairly firm. In Turkey it is often served at breakfast with bread, tomatoes and greens, and it also works well in pastries or on a meze board. Its salty, rich character pairs nicely with fresh vegetables and olives, so a little can bring plenty of flavour. It is high in protein and fat, with 24 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter plate, use a modest portion and add fruit or crunchy vegetables.
