What is Muratbey Çeçil Cheese?
Muratbey Çeçil Cheese is a Turkish string cheese, made in the çeçil style found especially in eastern Anatolia. Its dough is stretched into fine strands, giving it a springy, pull-apart texture and a mild, milky, slightly salty flavour. In Turkey it is often served at breakfast, either on its own or with bread, olives and fresh vegetables. You can also pull the strands apart for a quick snack or use them in a savoury pastry filling.
It is a filling cheese with a protein-rich, calcium-rich nutritional profile; 100 g provides 23 g of protein. A modest portion alongside tomatoes, cucumber or other fresh produce makes an easy, balanced plate. Since the cheese is already savoury, taste before adding extra salt.
