Muratbey Çeçil Cheese is a Turkish cheese with a distinctive stringy texture that can be pulled apart into strands. It is commonly eaten as a snack or served at breakfast, and the strands also work in sandwiches and cooked dishes.
Pull Muratbey Çeçil Cheese into strands and eat it as it is, or add it to bread, salads, and sandwiches. Its stringy texture makes it easy to portion without slicing, and it can be served cold or warmed.
Muratbey Çeçil Cheese softens when heated and its strands may stretch, but it does not melt into a smooth, even layer like mozzarella. Try it in a toastie or hot sandwich when you want some texture to remain.
Çeçil is a traditional Turkish cheese associated especially with eastern Anatolia. Muratbey Çeçil Cheese is the brand’s packaged version of this regional string-style cheese, rather than a name for every cheese made in the area.
No, Muratbey Çeçil Cheese is not mozzarella string cheese. Both can be pulled into strands, but çeçil is a Turkish cheese style with its own production tradition and texture; they are not interchangeable in every recipe.
Yes, Muratbey Çeçil Cheese can be added to hot sandwiches, eggs, or savory pastries. Separate the strands before mixing them in, and taste the filling before adding salt because the cheese may already taste salty.
Keep Muratbey Çeçil Cheese refrigerated and tightly covered after opening. Follow the storage directions and use-by information on the package; discard it if its smell, appearance, or texture changes noticeably.
Yes, Muratbey Çeçil Cheese can be frozen, although its stringy texture may change after thawing. Divide it into portions and seal them well; thawed cheese is usually easiest to use in a cooked dish.
Muratbey Çeçil Cheese may taste mildly salty, as çeçil cheeses can be salted during preparation. If you are serving it with olives or other salty foods, taste the cheese first before seasoning the rest of the meal.
Muratbey Çeçil Cheese pairs well with bread, fresh vegetables, and olives for a simple breakfast or snack. For a warm meal, add its strands to eggs or a savory pastry, balancing the plate with unsalted ingredients.

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.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
