Frequently Asked Questions About Kebir Cecil cheese
What is Kebir Cecil cheese, and how is it made?
Kebir Cecil cheese is a Turkish cheese with a distinctive stringy texture. Traditional çeçil cheese is made by working curds into thin strands; the precise method can vary between producers.
How do you eat Kebir Cecil cheese?
You can pull Kebir Cecil cheese into strands and eat it as it is, or serve it at breakfast with bread and fresh vegetables. It also works well torn over eggs, salads, or warm dishes.
Does Kebir Cecil cheese melt well?
Kebir Cecil cheese softens and can stretch when heated, but it does not melt into a uniformly smooth sauce like mozzarella. Add it near the end of cooking if you want to keep some of its stringy texture.
Why is Kebir Cecil cheese stringy?
Kebir Cecil cheese is stringy because its curd is worked and pulled into thin fibers during production. Pull the cheese apart by hand to preserve its characteristic strands when serving it.
Can you use Kebir Cecil cheese instead of mozzarella?
You can use Kebir Cecil cheese instead of mozzarella when a salty, fibrous texture suits the dish, such as on toast or in a filling. It will not give the same mild flavor or smooth melt.
How should you store Kebir Cecil cheese after opening?
Store Kebir Cecil cheese in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container after opening. Sealing it helps prevent the strands from drying out and keeps the cheese from absorbing odors from other foods.
Can Kebir Cecil cheese be frozen?
Yes, Kebir Cecil cheese can be frozen, though its strands may become drier or more crumbly after thawing. Freeze it in an airtight package and thaw it in the refrigerator before using.
Is Kebir Cecil cheese the same as Turkish string cheese?
Kebir Cecil cheese is a type of Turkish string cheese, but the phrase “string cheese” can describe several cheeses with different recipes and textures. Its salty flavor and pulled strands are characteristic of çeçil.
What does Kebir Cecil cheese taste like?
Kebir Cecil cheese tastes savory and salty, with a mild dairy flavor. Its strands make the texture more noticeable than in a smooth cheese, so it pairs especially well with bread and fresh vegetables.
How can you make Kebir Cecil cheese less salty?
To make Kebir Cecil cheese less salty, briefly soak the strands in cold water and drain them well. A long soak can noticeably change the cheese’s flavor and texture.

What is Kebir Cecil cheese?

Salty, chewy and easy to pull apart, it is often served at breakfast with bread and fresh vegetables, or enjoyed alongside tea. The strands also work well in pastries, gözleme and salads.
