Frequently Asked Questions About Cow tulum cheese
What is cow tulum cheese?
Cow tulum cheese is a Turkish aged cheese made from cow’s milk, typically firm and noticeably salty. “Tulum” refers to a traditional style of cheese-making and ageing, though current products may be matured in different containers.
What does cow tulum cheese taste like?
Cow tulum cheese tastes savory, salty, and tangy, with a firmer, more crumbly texture than many fresh cheeses. Ageing time and the maker’s method affect how sharp or mild a particular cheese tastes.
How is cow tulum cheese made?
Cow tulum cheese is made by curdling cow’s milk, draining the curds, salting them, and leaving the cheese to mature. Methods vary by producer, and the ageing conditions help shape its characteristic firm texture and strong flavor.
How is cow tulum cheese different from sheep’s milk tulum?
Cow tulum cheese is often milder in flavor than sheep’s milk tulum, which can taste richer and more pronounced. The exact difference also depends on salt and ageing, so the milk type alone does not determine the taste.
Is cow tulum cheese similar to feta?
Cow tulum cheese and feta are both salty cheeses, but they are made and aged differently. Tulum is generally firmer and more mature, while feta is usually stored in brine and has a moist, easily crumbled texture.
How do you serve cow tulum cheese?
Serve cow tulum cheese in small pieces with bread, olives, or fresh vegetables; it works especially well on a Turkish-style breakfast table. Its bold saltiness also pairs nicely with fruit or mild accompaniments on a cheese board.
Can you cook with cow tulum cheese?
Yes, cow tulum cheese can be crumbled into savory pastries, flatbreads, and other fillings. Taste it before adding salt, since its strong saltiness can season a dish on its own.
How should you store cow tulum cheese?
Keep cow tulum cheese refrigerated in an airtight container, or wrap it well to protect the cut surface from drying out. Use a clean knife each time and follow any storage directions on the package.
Can you freeze cow tulum cheese?
Yes, cow tulum cheese can be frozen, but freezing may make its texture drier or more crumbly after thawing. It is usually best to use thawed cheese in cooked dishes rather than serve it as slices.
Can people with lactose intolerance eat cow tulum cheese?
Some people with lactose intolerance tolerate small portions of aged cow tulum cheese, but it should not be assumed to be lactose-free. Lactose content varies by product, so people who react to dairy should judge it by their own tolerance.

What is Cow tulum cheese?
Cow tulum cheese is a Turkish cheese made from cow’s milk, rooted in the tradition of aging cheese in a tulum, or skin container; modern versions may be matured in other ways. It is firm and notably salty, with a tangy, developed flavour. In Turkey, it is commonly sliced for breakfast or served with bread, olives and tomatoes, and it also suits a meze or cheese board.
