Frequently Asked Questions About Haliç cheese
What is Haliç cheese?
Haliç cheese is a salty white brined cheese. It provides protein and calcium, and its pronounced saltiness makes it a natural fit for small portions alongside bread, vegetables, or other less salty foods.
Is Haliç cheese the same as feta?
No, they should not automatically be treated as the same cheese. Both are white brined cheeses, but the name Haliç cheese does not establish a standard feta recipe; saltiness and texture can vary between products.
How can you make Haliç cheese less salty?
To reduce the saltiness of Haliç cheese, soak the portion you plan to eat briefly in cold water, then taste it. Drain and pat it dry; soaking it too long can dull its flavor and soften its texture.
How do you serve Haliç cheese for breakfast?
Serve Haliç cheese in thin slices with bread, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, or eggs. Pairing it with unsalted foods balances its briny taste, so you can enjoy it without needing to soak the whole piece first.
Can Haliç cheese be used in börek?
Yes, Haliç cheese can be crumbled into börek filling. Taste it before adding any extra salt, since its briny flavor can season the pastry on its own; herbs such as parsley make a useful addition.
Does Haliç cheese melt well?
Haliç cheese may soften when heated, but it is not guaranteed to melt into a smooth, stretchy layer. Crumble it over a dish or mix it into a filling rather than relying on it to behave like a melting cheese.
How should you store Haliç cheese after opening?
Keep Haliç cheese refrigerated in a clean, covered container after opening. If it comes with brine, keeping the cheese submerged helps prevent it from drying out; follow the package’s storage directions and use-by date.
Can you freeze Haliç cheese?
Yes, you can freeze Haliç cheese, though thawing may make its texture more crumbly. Use thawed cheese in cooked dishes or fillings rather than expecting it to retain the same texture for slicing and serving.
Can you grill Haliç cheese like halloumi?
Not reliably. Haliç cheese is a brined white cheese, and it may soften or crumble instead of holding its shape on a grill like halloumi. Test a small piece first, or use it as a topping for grilled bread.
Is Haliç cheese safe to eat during pregnancy?
Haliç cheese is suitable during pregnancy only if it is made with pasteurized milk and has been stored safely. The product information provided does not confirm pasteurization, so check its packaging or ask your healthcare professional before eating it.

What is Haliç cheese?
Haliç cheese is a salty white cheese kept in brine, served sliced or crumbled. It has a soft texture and a savoury, distinctly salty taste, and can be used in much the same way as other Turkish-style brined cheeses.
In Turkey it commonly appears at breakfast with bread, olives and fresh vegetables, and is also crumbled into salads or used in pastries. Elsewhere, it pairs well with tomatoes, cucumbers and herbs; rinse or use a smaller amount if you prefer a milder taste. It provides protein and calcium, while also being relatively rich in fat.
