What is Curd cheese spread?
Curd cheese spread is a simple Turkish-style meze made by seasoning lor, a mild, fresh curd cheese. Recipes vary: it may be blended smooth or left slightly crumbly, with herbs, spices and olive oil bringing extra flavour. In Turkey, it can appear at breakfast with bread and olives, or as a cold starter alongside a meal. For an easy snack, spread it on toast or serve it with sliced vegetables; it also pairs well with warm flatbread.
It offers a useful amount of protein for a spread, at 11.5 g per 100 g, while remaining mild enough to pair with stronger, savoury dishes. For a lighter version, use olive oil sparingly and add fresh herbs or a little yoghurt for a softer texture.
