Muratbey full fat kashar cheese is a traditional Turkish-style cheese. It has a full-fat profile and works both as a table cheese and in cooked dishes, where its savoury flavour and melting qualities make it useful.
Yes, Muratbey full fat kashar cheese melts well in hot sandwiches and cooked dishes. Slice it thinly or grate it for more even melting, and use moderate heat so the bread or other ingredients do not overcook first.
Keep Muratbey full fat kashar cheese refrigerated and sealed after opening, either in its packaging or an airtight container. Use a clean, dry knife when cutting it, and avoid leaving it exposed to air, which can dry the surface and affect its flavour.
Yes, you can freeze Muratbey full fat kashar cheese, though thawing may make its texture crumbly or dry. Freeze it in portions and use thawed cheese in toasties, baked dishes or sauces, where a change in texture matters less.
No, the name Muratbey full fat kashar cheese does not mean it is aged kashar. Aged kashar is matured longer and is generally firmer and more pronounced in flavour; full fat describes the fat style, not the ageing process.
Yes, Muratbey full fat kashar cheese can be grated over pizza and melts in the oven. It gives a savoury cheese topping; combine it with another cheese if you want a different flavour, and avoid overbaking to limit oiliness.
For a similar role, use another mild melting cheese in place of Muratbey full fat kashar cheese. A young Gouda or mozzarella can work in toasties and baked dishes, though the flavour and stretch will not be exactly the same.
Muratbey full fat kashar cheese is sliced or grated between bread for a Turkish-style toasted sandwich. It melts as the bread browns; adding tomato or sucuk is common, but keep wet fillings modest so the bread does not become soggy.
No, Muratbey full fat kashar cheese does not need to be cooked before eating. You can serve it sliced as a table cheese or melt it into a dish; cooking is a matter of preference and recipe, not a safety requirement for ordinary ready-to-eat cheese.
Discard Muratbey full fat kashar cheese if it develops an unusual sour or unpleasant smell, a slimy surface, or unexpected discoloration. Do not taste it to check. Keep it sealed and refrigerated to help preserve its quality after opening.

Muratbey full fat kashar cheese is a Turkish semi-hard cheese made from milk, with a pale yellow colour and a smooth, sliceable texture. Its flavour is savoury and gently tangy, becoming fuller as the cheese matures; when heated, it melts readily. Kashar is a familiar everyday cheese in Turkey, rather than a cheese reserved for special occasions.
Serve it at breakfast with bread, or use it in toasties, sandwiches and baked dishes. It brings plenty of protein and calcium, but is also rich in fat; a 100 g portion provides 24.5 g of protein. For a lighter plate, use a modest amount and pair it with fresh vegetables, or add it to a simple omelette for a satisfying meal.
Medium
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
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.
