İçim full-fat strained cheese is a soft, fresh cheese with a spreadable texture. It is not simply another name for labneh, which is typically made by straining yogurt; strained cheese is made as cheese and can be served at breakfast or used in recipes.
Use İçim full-fat strained cheese as a spread, a sandwich filling, or a soft ingredient in savory dishes. Its creamy texture mixes easily with herbs and vegetables, and it also works in cooked fillings such as pastries.
Yes, İçim full-fat strained cheese can replace cream cheese in some spreads and fillings. Its flavor and texture may differ, so it may not give the same firmness or result in recipes that rely on cream cheese to set.
No, İçim full-fat strained cheese and labneh are not the same product. Labneh is generally made by straining cultured yogurt, while strained cheese is produced as cheese; they can differ in flavor, texture, and how they behave in recipes.
Yes, you can cook with İçim full-fat strained cheese in fillings, pasta dishes, and baked recipes. For a smoother texture, stir it into hot food after removing the pan from high heat rather than boiling it for a long time.
Yes, İçim full-fat strained cheese can be used in cheesecake, though the result may be softer or taste different from one made with cream cheese. Beat it until smooth and follow a recipe designed for a fresh, soft cheese where possible.
Keep İçim full-fat strained cheese refrigerated after opening, with the package tightly closed. Use a clean utensil each time and follow the package’s stated guidance for how soon to finish it; do not leave it at room temperature for extended periods.
Yes, İçim full-fat strained cheese can be frozen, but thawing may make its texture grainy or watery. It is usually better suited to cooked dishes after freezing than to spreading or serving plain.
Cream cheese or another soft fresh cheese can replace İçim full-fat strained cheese in some recipes, but the flavor and firmness may change. For a pastry filling, choose a cheese with a similarly soft texture rather than a hard, aged cheese.
Discard İçim full-fat strained cheese if you see mold, notice an unpleasant or unusually sour smell, or find an unexpected color change. Do not taste it to check if the package is swollen or it has been left unrefrigerated for a long time.

İçim Full-Fat Strained Cheese is a Turkish fresh cheese made by draining moisture from the curds, leaving a thick, soft texture. Its full-fat style is creamy, with a mild, milky flavour. In Turkey it is commonly spread on bread at breakfast, and used as a filling for pastries such as börek. You can also serve it with tomatoes, cucumber, olives or fresh herbs, or offer it with savoury snacks alongside tea.
It provides protein and calcium, and its rich texture makes a little go a long way in a breakfast or snack. For a lighter plate, pair a modest portion with plenty of fresh vegetables; it also works well in pastry fillings when you want a smooth, mild cheese.
