Kashar cheese is a Turkish semi-hard cheese made by culturing milk, forming curds, then heating and kneading them before shaping and, in some styles, aging. It is a processed dairy cheese in the broad sense, not necessarily a spreadable processed-cheese product.
Yes, Kashar cheese melts well, which makes it a popular choice for toasties and baked dishes. Fresh Kashar usually melts more readily than aged Kashar; grate or slice it thinly for more even melting.
Kashar cheese has a mild, savory, slightly tangy taste when fresh. As it ages, it becomes firmer and develops a stronger, saltier flavor, so aged Kashar works well on a cheese board while fresh Kashar suits sandwiches.
Fresh Kashar is softer, milder, and melts readily; aged Kashar is firmer and has a more concentrated, sharper flavor. The names refer to how long the cheese has matured, rather than to two unrelated kinds of cheese.
Kashar cheese can be eaten sliced in sandwiches, melted over toast, or served with bread and olives. It is also commonly grated into baked dishes; choose fresh Kashar for a softer melt and aged Kashar when you want a stronger cheese flavor.
Yes, Kashar cheese can replace mozzarella in many toasted sandwiches, pizzas, and baked dishes because it melts well. The result will usually taste more savory and tangy, and may not have mozzarella’s same stretchy texture.
Keep Kashar cheese refrigerated in its original wrapper or another airtight covering, and protect the cut surface from drying out. Use a clean knife each time, and follow the package’s storage instructions for the specific product.
Yes, Kashar cheese can be frozen, although thawing may make its texture drier or crumbly. Freeze it grated or in small portions, then use it in cooked dishes rather than expecting it to have exactly the same texture for slicing.
Kashar cheese may contain lactose, though aged varieties generally have less than fresh ones. People with lactose intolerance vary in what they can tolerate, so start with a small amount if appropriate and avoid it if it triggers symptoms.
Kashar cheese provides protein and calcium, but it is also high in saturated fat. It can fit into meals in moderate portions; people managing a condition affected by saturated fat can ask a clinician or dietitian about an appropriate amount.

Kashar cheese is a Turkish semi-hard cheese, usually made from cow’s milk. Fresh Kashar is mild and pliable, while aged versions become firmer and more pronounced in flavour.
In Turkey, it is often served at breakfast with bread, melted into toast, or used in sandwiches and savoury pastries. Its smooth melt also makes it handy for grilled sandwiches and other simple meals. It provides protein and calcium, but is relatively high in fat: per 100 g, it has 19 g of protein and 25 g of fat. For a lighter plate, use a thin slice with tomatoes or other fresh vegetables.
