What is Konya kırıklı cheese?
Konya kırıklı cheese is a traditional cheese from the Konya region of central Turkey. Its name points to its broken, crumbly pieces; it is typically salty and rich, rather than a mild, spreadable cheese. In Turkey it may appear at breakfast with bread, olives and tomatoes, and it also works crumbled into a börek or gözleme filling.
It is a protein-rich, relatively high-fat cheese, so a modest portion can add plenty of flavour. Pair it with fresh vegetables and unsalted bread, and taste before adding salt to the rest of the meal. Its savoury, crumbly texture also suits a simple salad when you want a more substantial topping.
