Frequently Asked Questions About Full-fat cow tulum cheese
What does full-fat cow tulum cheese taste like?
Full-fat cow tulum cheese usually tastes rich, tangy and savory, with a firm, crumbly texture. Its flavor can be milder than sheep’s-milk tulum, but aging time and the producer’s method make a noticeable difference.
How is full-fat cow tulum cheese made?
Full-fat cow tulum cheese is made by curdling cow’s milk, draining the curds, salting them and allowing the cheese to mature. Despite the name’s traditional association with a leather bag, modern producers may use other containers or methods.
What can I use instead of full-fat cow tulum cheese?
For a similar salty, tangy crumble, try feta or another firm brined cheese; for a milder result, use a firm white cheese. The substitute will not reproduce tulum’s particular aged flavor, so adjust added salt in the recipe.
Does full-fat cow tulum cheese melt well?
Full-fat cow tulum cheese softens when heated, but it may not melt into a smooth, stretchy layer like mozzarella. Crumble it into börek, eggs or warm bread, and test a small amount first if you need a particular texture.
How is full-fat cow tulum cheese different from feta?
Full-fat cow tulum cheese is typically matured and has a more pronounced aged flavor, while feta is usually brined and has a fresher, sharper taste. Their textures vary, but tulum often crumbles well and can be denser than feta.
How should I serve full-fat cow tulum cheese on a Turkish breakfast platter?
Serve full-fat cow tulum cheese in small crumbles or thin pieces alongside bread, olives, tomatoes and cucumber. Its bold, salty flavor works well as one part of a spread rather than as a large, unaccompanied portion.
How long does full-fat cow tulum cheese last after opening?
Keep full-fat cow tulum cheese sealed in the refrigerator and follow the storage and use-by directions on its package. Use a clean utensil each time, and discard it if you notice mold, an unusual smell or a change that is not typical for that cheese.
Can you freeze full-fat cow tulum cheese?
Yes, full-fat cow tulum cheese can be frozen, though thawing may make it drier or more crumbly. Freeze it in a well-sealed portion and use the thawed cheese in cooked dishes, where a small texture change is less noticeable.
Is the rind on full-fat cow tulum cheese edible?
There is no single standard rind for full-fat cow tulum cheese; the outside may depend on how that particular product was made and packaged. Remove packaging and eat an outer coating only if the producer identifies it as edible.
Can full-fat cow tulum cheese be used in börek?
Yes, full-fat cow tulum cheese makes a flavorful börek filling. Because it can be quite salty and crumbly, combine it with herbs or a milder cheese if desired, and taste the filling before adding extra salt.
