What is Light high-protein Kashar cheese?
Light high-protein Kashar cheese is a lighter, protein-rich version of kaşar, Turkey’s familiar semi-hard cheese. It has a mild, milky, slightly salty flavour and a sliceable texture that melts readily when heated. It is often sliced for sandwiches or grated over hot dishes.
In Turkey, kaşar commonly appears at breakfast and in toasties, gözleme and börek; elsewhere, it works much like other melting cheeses in sandwiches and everyday cooking. This version is notably high in protein and reduced in fat, with 32 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter meal, pair a modest portion with tomatoes, cucumber and wholegrain bread.
