Low-fat Hatay cheese is a reduced-fat, brined cheese associated with Hatay, a region in southern Turkey. It has a salty, savory profile and can be served at breakfast or crumbled into cooked dishes.
Low-fat Hatay cheese tastes savory and salty from its brine, with a firm or crumbly texture depending on the product. If it tastes too salty, briefly soak a piece in cold water and taste it before soaking longer.
Serve low-fat Hatay cheese sliced or crumbled, commonly alongside bread, olives, and fresh vegetables. It also works in eggs or pastries; taste it first so its brininess does not make the whole dish too salty.
Yes, low-fat Hatay cheese can be added to eggs, savory pastries, and baked dishes. It softens with heat but generally will not melt into stretchy strands like a melting cheese, so crumbling it into a recipe works well.
Low-fat Hatay cheese is a Turkish regional brined cheese, while feta is a Greek cheese with its own production traditions and flavor. Both can be salty and crumbly, but they are not interchangeable in taste; adjust the salt if substituting.
Low-fat Hatay cheese can replace ricotta in some savory recipes, but it is saltier and usually firmer. Crumble it and reduce added salt; it is a poor swap when a recipe needs ricotta’s mild, creamy texture.
Keep low-fat Hatay cheese refrigerated in a sealed container, ideally covered with its brine. If there is no brine, keep it tightly covered to limit drying, and use clean utensils when taking pieces out.
Yes, you can freeze low-fat Hatay cheese, but thawing may make it more crumbly or watery. Freeze it in a well-sealed container and save thawed portions for cooked dishes rather than serving them as neat slices.
Low-fat Hatay cheese can contribute protein to a post-workout meal, but it is not a complete recovery meal on its own. Pair it with a carbohydrate source such as bread or fruit, and consider its salty brine if you are watching sodium.
Low-fat Hatay cheese can fit into a weight-loss eating pattern as a protein-rich choice, but it does not cause weight loss by itself. Its brine can make it high in salt, so keep the portion moderate and balance the rest of the meal.

Low-fat Hatay cheese is a reduced-fat version of the brined cheese associated with Hatay, in southern Turkey. Made by setting milk and curing the cheese in brine, it has a place in the region’s everyday cooking as well as at the breakfast table.
Its flavour is salty with a mild tang, and its texture is satisfyingly firm. In Turkey, it is often served with bread, olives and fresh vegetables, or used in dishes such as pastries and salads. If the briny taste is strong for you, briefly soak a piece in water before serving. With 25 g of protein per 100 g and little fat, it can add substance to a lighter meal; pair it with vegetables and a modest portion of bread.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
