Frequently Asked Questions About Hatay string cheese
What is Hatay string cheese?
Hatay string cheese is a traditional, salty cheese from Hatay, Turkey, with a texture that can be pulled into strands. It is commonly served at breakfast or added to warm dishes, where its stringy texture becomes more noticeable.
How do you pull Hatay string cheese into strands?
Pull Hatay string cheese apart by hand along its natural fibres, starting at an edge and separating it into thinner strips. If it feels firm straight from the refrigerator, let it sit briefly at room temperature so it is easier to handle.
How is Hatay string cheese traditionally made?
Hatay string cheese belongs to the stretched-curd cheese tradition: curds are worked in hot water until they become pliable and stringy. Exact production methods can vary between makers, so texture and saltiness may differ from one Hatay string cheese to another.
Can you eat Hatay string cheese without cooking it?
Yes, Hatay string cheese can be eaten as it is, without cooking. Pull it into strands and serve it with bread or fresh vegetables, or add it to a sandwich. Its salty flavour can be prominent, so taste it before seasoning the rest of the meal.
Does Hatay string cheese melt well?
Hatay string cheese softens when heated and can become stretchy, rather than turning into a uniformly smooth sauce. It works well in toasties and baked dishes; distribute it evenly so the strands warm through without leaving clumps.
How is Hatay string cheese different from mozzarella?
Hatay string cheese is not mozzarella, even though both can have a stretchy, strand-like texture. Hatay string cheese is a regional Turkish cheese and is often saltier. The two can sometimes substitute for each other in cooked recipes, but the flavour will change.
What can you cook with Hatay string cheese?
Use Hatay string cheese in toasties, savoury pastries, flatbreads or baked dishes. Its strands work especially well in warm fillings. Tear or cut the cheese into smaller pieces before adding it, and taste the dish before adding extra salt.
How should you store Hatay string cheese after opening?
Keep Hatay string cheese refrigerated in its closed package or a clean, airtight container after opening. Follow the storage directions on the package and use its date guidance; handle it with clean utensils to avoid contaminating the remaining cheese.
Can Hatay string cheese be frozen?
Yes, Hatay string cheese can be frozen, but freezing may change its texture after thawing. It may be less pleasant to eat plain, so use thawed cheese in a hot sandwich or baked recipe where the altered texture matters less.
What goes well with Hatay string cheese?
Hatay string cheese pairs well with bread, tomatoes, olives and other breakfast foods. Its salty taste also suits simple savoury pastries and warm flatbreads. Choose mild accompaniments if you want the cheese’s distinctive flavour to stand out.

What is Hatay string cheese?
Hatay string cheese is a traditional, pull-apart cheese from Hatay in southern Turkey. Its strands separate easily, and the cheese has a pleasantly chewy texture and a salty, milky flavour. In Turkey it is often served at breakfast with bread, olives and tomatoes, or eaten alongside tea. It can also be tucked into pastries or warmed in a toastie, where it softens and stretches.
It is rich in protein and fat, with 22 g of protein per 100 g, and contributes little carbohydrate. Because it tastes salty, a modest portion works well with fresh vegetables or unsalted bread. Try it as part of a breakfast spread or in a hot sandwich when you want a cheese that melts without losing its stringy character.
