Frequently Asked Questions About Mihlac cheese
What is Mihlac cheese?
Mihlac cheese is a traditional Turkish sheep’s-milk cheese with a firm texture and a pronounced, salty flavor. It can be eaten in slices, crumbled into dishes, or grated when its stronger taste is welcome.
What does Mihlac cheese taste like?
Mihlac cheese tastes savory, distinctly salty, and more assertive than a mild fresh cheese. Its firm texture makes it easy to crumble or grate, so a little can add a noticeable flavor to bread, salads, and cooked dishes.
Is Mihlac cheese made from sheep’s milk?
Yes, traditional Mihlac cheese is made from sheep’s milk. Production can vary between makers, so the ingredients on a particular product are the best way to confirm its milk source.
How is Mihlac cheese traditionally made?
Mihlac cheese is traditionally made by coagulating sheep’s milk, working and shaping the curds, then salting and aging the cheese. This relatively simple cheesemaking process gives it a firm body and concentrated flavor.
How is Mihlac cheese usually served in Turkey?
In Turkey, Mihlac cheese can be served in slices at breakfast, alongside bread and fresh vegetables. It is also useful crumbled or grated in savory recipes; its salty flavor pairs well with milder ingredients.
Does Mihlac cheese melt well?
Mihlac cheese softens when heated but does not usually melt into a smooth, stretchy layer like young mozzarella. Grate it finely or combine it with a more meltable cheese for toast and baked dishes.
Can Mihlac cheese replace feta or Parmesan?
Mihlac cheese can replace feta when a firmer, saltier cheese is acceptable, but it will not have feta’s moist, crumbly texture. It can also be grated in place of Parmesan, though its flavor and melting behavior will differ.
How should Mihlac cheese be stored after opening?
Keep opened Mihlac cheese refrigerated in a tightly sealed container to prevent it from drying out or picking up other odors. Use a clean knife each time, and discard it if it develops an unusual smell, sliminess, or mold.
Why does Mihlac cheese sometimes have holes?
Holes in Mihlac cheese can form as a result of fermentation during cheesemaking and aging. Their size and distribution may vary by batch; holes alone do not mean the cheese has spoiled.
Can you freeze Mihlac cheese?
Yes, Mihlac cheese can be frozen, but thawing may make its firm texture more crumbly. Freeze it in portions and plan to use the thawed cheese grated or crumbled in cooked dishes rather than served in neat slices.

What is Mihlac cheese?
Mihlac cheese is a traditional Turkish sheep’s-milk cheese associated with the country’s Black Sea region. It has a firm texture and a pronounced, savoury flavour; depending on how long it is matured, it can taste sharper and saltier.
In Turkey, it is often served at breakfast with bread and fresh vegetables, and can also be grated over pide or folded into pastries. Elsewhere, try it crumbled into a salad or alongside olives and tomatoes. It provides protein, but is also fairly rich in fat, so its bold flavour works well in modest portions. Pair it with crisp vegetables for a lighter plate.
