No, Gazi White Cheese is not the same cheese as feta. Both are white brined cheeses, but their taste, texture and cheesemaking traditions differ. You can substitute it for feta in many recipes, though the result may be softer or saltier.
Keep Gazi White Cheese refrigerated in a clean, covered container after opening. If it came in brine, store it in that brine; otherwise, seal the container well to limit drying. Use clean utensils and take out only the portion you need.
Yes, you can freeze Gazi White Cheese, but thawing may make it drier and more crumbly. Freeze it in a tightly sealed portion and thaw it in the refrigerator; use the thawed cheese in cooked dishes rather than expecting neat slices.
Soak the portion of Gazi White Cheese you plan to eat in cold water, then taste it and repeat briefly if needed. A long soak can also wash out its characteristic flavor and soften the texture, so avoid leaving it submerged for hours.
Gazi White Cheese softens with heat but does not melt into the stretchy, smooth layer you get from cheeses such as mozzarella. It works well crumbled into omelets, börek and baked dishes, where it keeps some texture.
Yes, Gazi White Cheese is a good filling for börek. Crumble it and mix it with herbs such as parsley; taste the mixture before adding salt, since the cheese may already be salty. Its crumbly texture distributes easily through the filling.
Gazi White Cheese can crumble because its compact white-cheese texture breaks rather than stretching like many melting cheeses. Cold cheese is harder to slice cleanly, so use a sharp knife and let the serving sit briefly before cutting.
There is no single safe shelf life for every opened package of Gazi White Cheese, because storage conditions and the product's instructions matter. Keep it refrigerated and discard it if you notice mold, a slimy surface or an unusual smell.
Yes, you can grill Gazi White Cheese, but expect it to soften and brown rather than melt into a stretchy cheese. Cut thick pieces, use a clean grill surface and turn them carefully; very thin slices are more likely to break apart.
Gazi White Cheese can contribute protein and calcium to a meal, but it is also a salty cheese, so portion size matters if you need to limit sodium. Pairing it with vegetables and unsalted foods is a practical way to balance its saltiness.

Gazi White Cheese is a Turkish-style white cheese made from milk, with the moist, compact texture and gently crumbly edges familiar from cheeses matured in brine. Its savoury, lightly tangy taste works well with fresh, simple ingredients rather than needing much preparation.
In Turkey it is a breakfast-table favourite, often served with bread, olives, tomatoes and cucumber; it is also crumbled into salads or used in börek. Turkish communities abroad enjoy it in much the same way, while it can stand in for feta in many dishes. It provides protein and calcium and is fairly rich in fat. Pair it with plenty of vegetables for a balanced plate, or rinse it briefly if you prefer a milder, less salty bite.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
