Frequently Asked Questions About Low-Fat, High-Protein Tulum Cheese
Is low-fat, high-protein Tulum cheese the same as feta?
No, low-fat, high-protein Tulum cheese is not feta. Tulum is a Turkish cheese traditionally matured in a skin or similar container, while feta is a brined cheese; their flavour, texture and production methods differ.
Does low-fat, high-protein Tulum cheese still contain a lot of salt?
It can, because reducing the fat does not necessarily reduce the salt. Tulum cheeses are often salty, and this version may still contribute a noticeable amount of sodium, so use it sparingly if you have been advised to limit salt.
How should you serve low-fat, high-protein Tulum cheese?
Serve low-fat, high-protein Tulum cheese crumbled over salads, with bread, or alongside vegetables and eggs. Its assertive, salty flavour works well as a finishing cheese, so taste the dish before adding extra salt.
Can low-fat, high-protein Tulum cheese replace feta in a recipe?
Yes, low-fat, high-protein Tulum cheese can replace feta in salads, savoury pastries and some fillings. It may taste sharper or saltier and can have a firmer, drier texture, so crumble it and adjust the added salt.
Does low-fat, high-protein Tulum cheese melt well?
No, low-fat, high-protein Tulum cheese usually does not melt into long, stretchy strands like mozzarella. It softens when heated, so crumbling it over a baked dish or mixing it into a filling works better than relying on it for a stretchy topping.
Why can low-fat, high-protein Tulum cheese taste dry or crumbly?
Low-fat, high-protein Tulum cheese can feel dry or crumbly because it contains less fat, and Tulum-style cheeses are often aged. The reduced fat can mean less creamy mouthfeel; mixing the crumbled cheese into a moist filling can make it more pleasant to eat.
How is low-fat, high-protein Tulum cheese made?
Low-fat, high-protein Tulum cheese is generally made from curds produced with reduced-fat milk, then drained, pressed and matured. It is a processed cheese product, and the precise recipe and ageing method vary between producers.
How do you store low-fat, high-protein Tulum cheese after opening?
Keep low-fat, high-protein Tulum cheese covered in the refrigerator after opening, following the package’s storage instructions. Use a clean utensil and seal it well to limit drying and prevent it from picking up other food odours.
Does low-fat, high-protein Tulum cheese contain lactose?
It may contain lactose; the amount depends on the milk and how the cheese is made and matured. Low-fat, high-protein Tulum cheese should not be assumed to be lactose-free, so people with lactose intolerance may need to limit it.
Can you grill low-fat, high-protein Tulum cheese?
You can grill low-fat, high-protein Tulum cheese, but it may soften or crumble rather than hold its shape like halloumi. Use a small piece and watch it closely; it is often easier to grill it in a pan or place it on bread.

What is Low-Fat, High-Protein Tulum Cheese?
Low-fat, high-protein tulum cheese is a leaner, protein-rich take on Turkey’s traditional tulum cheese. Tulum is made in several regions of Turkey, usually from sheep’s, goat’s or cow’s milk, and matured to develop its distinctive flavour. The milk and method vary by region, so the cheese can differ in richness and texture.
In Turkey, it is commonly crumbled onto breakfast plates or served with bread, olives and fresh vegetables; it also works well as part of a meze spread. Its savoury, tangy taste and crumbly texture bring plenty of character in a small portion. At 26 g of protein per 100 g, it is a protein-rich choice, though it may still be salty. Pair it with unsalted vegetables or bread, and taste before adding extra salt.
