Frequently Asked Questions About Moldy lor cheese
What is Moldy lor cheese?
Moldy lor cheese is a Turkish whey cheese that is matured to develop a distinctive moldy aroma and savory, often salty taste. Unlike fresh lor, it is not mild and sweet; its ripening gives it a stronger character.
How do you eat Moldy lor cheese?
Moldy lor cheese is commonly crumbled onto bread or served as part of a savory spread or appetizer. Its assertive flavor also works in pastries, pasta, and cooked dishes, where a small amount can season the whole dish.
How is Moldy lor cheese made?
Moldy lor cheese starts with lor, a fresh cheese made from whey, which is then matured under controlled conditions. Methods vary by producer; adding random mold at home is not a safe substitute for controlled cheese-making.
Is the mold in Moldy lor cheese safe to eat?
Yes, the mold that develops as part of making and maturing Moldy lor cheese is meant to be eaten. Unexpected mold, an unusually unpleasant odor, or a slimy texture can indicate spoilage, so discard cheese showing those signs.
What is the difference between Moldy lor cheese and fresh lor?
Moldy lor cheese is matured for a pronounced, savory mold aroma, while fresh lor is mild, soft, and relatively neutral. The moldy version may also be saltier, so it will give a recipe a stronger flavor than fresh lor.
How should you store Moldy lor cheese?
Keep Moldy lor cheese refrigerated in its original packaging or in a clean, tightly covered container. Use a clean knife and avoid leaving it at room temperature for long periods to preserve its quality and limit unwanted contamination.
Can you cook with Moldy lor cheese?
Yes, Moldy lor cheese can be cooked in pastries, pasta, or other savory dishes. Its salty, intense flavor remains noticeable after cooking, so taste the filling or sauce before adding extra salt.
Can Moldy lor cheese be frozen?
Yes, Moldy lor cheese can be frozen, although thawing may make its texture more crumbly or watery. Seal it well before freezing and use thawed cheese in cooked dishes or pastry fillings, where texture changes matter less.
How can you tell if Moldy lor cheese has gone bad?
A strongly unpleasant smell unlike its usual mature aroma, sliminess, or an unexpected color change can signal spoilage in Moldy lor cheese. If you cannot distinguish the cheese’s intended mold from new growth, do not eat it.
Is Moldy lor cheese the same as blue cheese?
No, Moldy lor cheese is not simply another name for blue cheese. It is made from lor, a Turkish whey cheese, and has its own texture and production traditions; blue cheeses are a broader group made using different cheeses and cultures.

What is Moldy lor cheese?
Moldy lor cheese is a Turkish whey cheese made by allowing lor—a fresh, crumbly cheese—to ripen with mould. The result is more pungent and savoury than plain lor, with a salty taste and a texture that can range from soft and crumbly to denser as it matures.
In Turkey, it may be eaten at breakfast with bread and fresh vegetables, or served in small portions as part of a meze spread. It is protein-rich, so a little can add substance to a meal; its saltiness is best balanced with unsalted bread, tomatoes or greens. Try it crumbled over a salad or alongside milder cheeses.
