Frequently Asked Questions About Gazi Tulum Cheese
What is Gazi Tulum Cheese?
Gazi Tulum Cheese is a traditional Turkish sheep’s-milk cheese with a rich, pronounced flavor. Tulum refers to a Turkish style of cheese traditionally matured in a skin or other container.
What does Gazi Tulum Cheese taste like?
Gazi Tulum Cheese tastes savory, tangy, and more robust than a mild table cheese. Its strong flavor works well in small crumbles over salads, eggs, or warm bread.
How do you eat Gazi Tulum Cheese?
Eat Gazi Tulum Cheese crumbled or in small pieces with bread, olives, and fresh vegetables, or add it to salads and pastries. Its assertive taste means it can season a dish as well as add cheese.
Is Gazi Tulum Cheese made from sheep’s milk?
Yes, Gazi Tulum Cheese is made from sheep’s milk. Sheep’s milk gives it a fuller, distinctive flavor compared with many mild cow’s-milk cheeses.
How is Gazi Tulum Cheese different from feta?
Gazi Tulum Cheese is generally more pungent and crumbly, while feta is commonly stored in brine and tends to taste brighter and saltier. They can sometimes substitute for each other, but the flavor and texture will differ.
Can Gazi Tulum Cheese be used in börek?
Yes, Gazi Tulum Cheese works in börek as a savory filling. Crumble it and combine it with a milder cheese if you want a less intense filling; taste before adding salt.
Does Gazi Tulum Cheese melt well?
Gazi Tulum Cheese softens when heated, but it may not melt into a smooth, stretchy layer like some melting cheeses. Crumble it into pastries, eggs, or warm dishes rather than relying on it for a uniform cheese pull.
How should you store Gazi Tulum Cheese after opening?
Keep Gazi Tulum Cheese refrigerated in a tightly sealed container after opening. Use a clean utensil each time and avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods to help preserve its flavor and texture.
Can you freeze Gazi Tulum Cheese?
Yes, you can freeze Gazi Tulum Cheese, although thawing may make it drier or more crumbly. Freeze it in a well-sealed portion and use the thawed cheese in cooked dishes rather than expecting its original texture.
What can you use instead of Gazi Tulum Cheese?
Another sharp, crumbly tulum cheese is the closest substitute for Gazi Tulum Cheese. Feta can work in salads or pastries, but it has a different briny flavor and may require adjusting the recipe’s salt.

What is Gazi Tulum Cheese?
Gazi Tulum Cheese is a richly flavoured Turkish cheese made from sheep’s milk, in the style of traditional tulum cheeses. These cheeses are salted and matured, developing a savoury, tangy taste and a texture that can range from firm to crumbly. Serve it with bread, tomatoes and olives for breakfast, or include it on a meze board alongside fresh vegetables. A little also adds plenty of flavour to salads and savoury pastries.
It is protein-rich but also high in fat, so a modest portion can be satisfying: a typical 30 g slice is a useful starting point. Pair it with crisp greens or fruit for a balanced plate, or use it sparingly when adding it to a dish, since its pronounced flavour does much of the work.
