Frequently Asked Questions About White cheese
What is white cheese, and how is it usually made?
White cheese is a broad name for pale cheeses that are often salted or brined, rather than one single recipe. Milk type, firmness and saltiness vary by maker, so the exact ingredients and texture of Milla white cheese are best identified from its package.
Is white cheese the same as feta?
No, white cheese and feta are not automatically the same. Feta is a specific Greek brined cheese, while white cheese can refer to several cheeses with different milk, textures and salt levels. They can often be swapped, but taste before adding extra salt.
How should I store white cheese after opening?
Keep white cheese refrigerated in a clean, covered container. If it is packed in brine, keeping the pieces covered with brine helps prevent drying; follow the package directions and return the cheese to the fridge promptly after serving.
Can you freeze white cheese?
Yes, you can freeze white cheese, but thawing may make it more crumbly or watery. Freeze it in a well-sealed portion and use it in cooked dishes such as pies or baked pasta, where the texture change matters less.
Can white cheese be used instead of feta in recipes?
Yes, white cheese can often replace feta in salads, pastries and savoury bakes. Its saltiness and firmness may differ, so crumble a little into the dish first, taste it, and adjust the seasoning rather than adding the same amount of salt automatically.
Does white cheese melt when heated?
White cheese usually softens when heated but does not melt into the stretchy texture of mozzarella. It can become creamy or crumbly, making it useful in eggs, savoury pastries and baked dishes rather than as a classic melting-cheese topping.
What can I serve with white cheese?
White cheese pairs well with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, herbs and crusty bread. For a meal, add it to a salad or serve it with roasted vegetables; because the cheese may be salty, taste before seasoning the rest of the dish.
How can you tell if white cheese has gone bad?
Discard white cheese if it develops unexpected mould, a slimy surface, unusual discoloration or a distinctly unpleasant smell. A change in brine appearance alone may not prove spoilage, but cheese with suspicious texture or odour should not be tasted to check.
Can white cheese be eaten without cooking it?
Yes, white cheese is commonly eaten without cooking, sliced or crumbled into salads and sandwiches. Keep it chilled until serving, use clean utensils, and avoid leaving it at room temperature for an extended period.
Can you use white cheese in a grilled cheese sandwich?
Yes, white cheese can go in a grilled sandwich, but it softens rather than becoming reliably stretchy. Pair it with a cheese that melts well if you want a gooey centre, and use white cheese for its salty flavour.

What is White cheese?
Milla beyaz peynir is a Turkish-style white cheese, sold in firm blocks and associated with the brined cheeses commonly served at Turkish tables. Its texture can be smooth and sliceable, with edges that crumble, and its flavour is pleasantly salty with a mild tang.
In Turkey, white cheese is a breakfast staple, often eaten with bread, tomatoes, cucumbers and olives, or alongside tea. It also works well crumbled over salads or tucked into pastries. With 14.5 g of protein per 100 g, it makes a filling addition to a meal, though it is also fairly rich. Pair a modest portion with fresh vegetables and whole-grain bread for a balanced plate.
