Kashar cheese stick Calories

Kashar cheese is a Turkish cheese, traditionally made from sheep’s milk or a mixture that may include cow’s milk. A Kashar cheese stick is simply a stick-shaped serving of that cheese; the shape does not indicate a separate cheese variety.

Yes, a Kashar cheese stick can replace mozzarella in many hot sandwiches and baked dishes. Kashar has a more pronounced, savory flavor, so the result will taste different; grate or slice it thinly for even melting.

Serve a Kashar cheese stick sliced or cut into bite-size pieces, alongside bread, olives, fresh vegetables, or fruit. Its mild, savory taste works well with crisp and tangy accompaniments, and cutting it makes it easier to share.

No, a Kashar cheese stick can be eaten without cooking if it has been stored and handled properly. Cooking is optional: use it cold in sandwiches, or heat it in a toastie when you want a melted texture.

Yes, but a plain Kashar cheese stick can soften and slip through grill bars as it melts. Cut it thicker or use a grill-safe pan, and turn it gently; breading is another way to help hold the cheese together.

A Kashar cheese stick is cut from Kashar, a Turkish cheese, while many string cheese sticks are made to pull apart into strands. Kashar does not necessarily have that stringy structure, even though both may be sold in stick shapes.

Keep a Kashar cheese stick refrigerated and tightly wrapped, or store it in an airtight container. Limiting its exposure to air helps prevent a dry surface and keeps it from picking up other food odors.

Yes, you can freeze a Kashar cheese stick in a tightly sealed freezer-safe package. Thaw it in the refrigerator; its texture may become less smooth, so thawed Kashar is often best grated or melted into a cooked dish.

A Kashar cheese stick can release oil if it is heated too quickly or for too long. Warm it gently and stop as soon as it melts; high heat can separate fat from the cheese and leave a greasy surface.
