Frequently Asked Questions About Miyalic cheese
What is Miyalic cheese?
Miyalic cheese is a traditional Turkish cow’s-milk cheese with a semi-hard texture and a salty flavor. It can be eaten in slices or used in cooked dishes, where its assertive taste can season the food.
Is Miyalic cheese the same as Mihaliç cheese?
Yes, the names generally refer to the same Turkish cheese; “Mihaliç” is the more common spelling in Turkish. “Miyalic” is a spelling used on some English-language listings.
Where does Miyalic cheese come from?
Miyalic cheese is associated with the Karacabey area of Turkey’s Marmara region. The name is linked to the historical name Mihaliç, and the cheese is now made by producers beyond its traditional area.
How is Miyalic cheese traditionally made?
Miyalic cheese is made by curdling cow’s milk, draining and pressing the curd, then salting and maturing it. The exact method and maturation can vary by producer, which affects how firm and salty the finished cheese tastes.
What does Miyalic cheese taste and feel like?
Miyalic cheese tastes distinctly salty and milky, with a semi-hard texture. More mature pieces can taste sharper and crumble more easily, so they work well grated or crumbled over food.
Can you fry Miyalic cheese?
Yes, you can pan-fry slices of Miyalic cheese. Its saltiness and firmness make it suitable for cooking, but taste a small piece first; briefly soaking an overly salty slice can soften its flavor.
How do you serve Miyalic cheese?
Serve Miyalic cheese in thin slices with bread, tomatoes, or olives, or crumble it into eggs and savory pastries. Because it is salty, it can also add flavor to dishes without much extra seasoning.
How should you store Miyalic cheese after opening?
Keep Miyalic cheese refrigerated in a tightly closed container to prevent it from drying out and absorbing other odors. Follow the package’s storage directions, and discard it if you notice spoilage or mold.
Can you freeze Miyalic cheese?
Yes, Miyalic cheese can be frozen, but thawing may make its texture more crumbly. It is usually better to use previously frozen cheese in cooked dishes than to serve it in slices.
Is Miyalic cheese very salty?
Yes, Miyalic cheese is characteristically salty, although the level varies between producers and batches. If it tastes too salty, briefly soak a small portion in water before serving, keeping in mind that this can also reduce its flavor.
