Full-fat kelle lor cheese is a Turkish whey cheese: the soft curds left from cheesemaking are gathered into a compact, head-shaped form. It has a mild, milky flavour and a moist, slightly grainy texture. In Turkey, it is often eaten at breakfast with bread, tomatoes, olives and tea, and is also used as a savoury filling for pastries or gözleme. Outside Turkey, try it crumbled over toast or folded into a savoury bake.
It provides protein and calcium, with 15.2 g of protein per 100 g. Its richness works well alongside fresh vegetables and herbs; a smaller portion is an easy way to keep a meal lighter.
