Frequently Asked Questions About Mixed cheese (lor, string cheese)
What is mixed cheese (lor and string cheese)?
Mixed cheese (lor and string cheese) combines Turkish lor, a soft curd cheese, with fibrous tel peyniri, or string cheese. It is a mixed product rather than one standardized cheese, so the proportions, texture, and saltiness can vary by producer.
How do you use mixed cheese (lor and string cheese) in börek?
Mixed cheese (lor and string cheese) works well as a börek filling. The lor makes the filling soft while the string cheese adds strands; drain any excess moisture first so the pastry does not become soggy.
Is lor in mixed cheese (lor and string cheese) the same as ricotta?
No, lor is not exactly the same as ricotta. Both are soft, mild cheeses, but lor is commonly made from whey left over from cheese production in Turkey, while ricotta has its own regional production methods and can differ in texture and flavor.
Does mixed cheese (lor and string cheese) melt and stretch?
Mixed cheese (lor and string cheese) softens when heated, but how much it stretches depends on the amount and type of string cheese in the blend. Lor stays more crumbly, so the mixture usually will not stretch as uniformly as string cheese alone.
How should you store mixed cheese (lor and string cheese) after opening?
Keep mixed cheese (lor and string cheese) covered in the refrigerator after opening, using a clean utensil each time. Follow the package directions, avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods, and discard it if you notice mold or an unpleasant spoiled smell.
Can you freeze mixed cheese (lor and string cheese)?
Yes, you can freeze mixed cheese (lor and string cheese), though its texture may change. The lor can become grainier or watery and the string cheese less pliable after thawing; freeze it in airtight portions and thaw it in the refrigerator for cooked dishes.
How can you tell if mixed cheese (lor and string cheese) has gone bad?
Discard mixed cheese (lor and string cheese) if it develops visible mold, a sour or unpleasant smell, or an unusual slimy texture. Because it combines soft cheese with string cheese, do not simply cut off a moldy spot and eat the rest.
Can mixed cheese (lor and string cheese) be used in pasta?
Yes, mixed cheese (lor and string cheese) can be stirred into hot pasta. Add it after draining, with a little pasta water, and mix gently; the lor forms a creamy coating while the string cheese softens into strands.
Is mixed cheese (lor and string cheese) filling enough for a meal?
Mixed cheese (lor and string cheese) can make a meal more filling because it provides protein and has a substantial, varied texture. Pair it with vegetables and a grain or bread rather than relying on cheese alone for a balanced meal.
Can you eat mixed cheese (lor and string cheese) during pregnancy?
Yes, mixed cheese (lor and string cheese) can be eaten during pregnancy if it is made with pasteurized milk, kept refrigerated, and handled safely. If the package does not clarify pasteurization or storage, ask your clinician before eating it.
