Muratbey Surmeli white cheese is a soft, salty cheese made from cow’s milk. Its tender texture makes it easy to serve in slices, crumble into dishes, or spread on bread.
Muratbey Surmeli white cheese tastes salty and milky, with a soft texture rather than the firm, crumbly bite of some white cheeses. Pair it with fresh vegetables or bread to balance its saltiness.
Muratbey Surmeli white cheese is similar to feta in being a salty white cheese, but it is softer in texture. It can work in recipes calling for feta, although the finished dish may be less crumbly.
Serve Muratbey Surmeli white cheese with bread, olives, tomatoes, cucumber, and fresh herbs for a Turkish-style breakfast. Its soft texture also works well mashed with herbs as a spread for toast or sandwiches.
Yes, Muratbey Surmeli white cheese can be used as a börek filling. Crumble or mash it into the filling, and taste before adding salt because the cheese is already salty.
Yes, Muratbey Surmeli white cheese is soft enough to spread, especially when mashed with a fork. Add chopped herbs or a little olive oil for a simple topping, or use it in a sandwich.
Keep Muratbey Surmeli white cheese refrigerated in a clean, sealed container after opening. If the package contains brine, store the cheese with its liquid to help prevent it from drying out, and follow the package directions.
Yes, you can freeze Muratbey Surmeli white cheese, but thawing may change its soft texture. Use thawed cheese in cooked dishes such as börek rather than expecting it to have its original texture on a cheese board.
Muratbey Surmeli white cheese does not have one reliable opened-package shelf life for every storage condition. Keep it cold and covered, follow the package’s guidance, and discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
A soft Turkish white cheese is the closest substitute for Muratbey Surmeli white cheese. Feta can work in many recipes, but it is often firmer and more crumbly, so adjust the texture and salt in the dish.

Muratbey Surmeli white cheese is a soft, salty white cheese made from cow’s milk in the Turkish style. Its tender texture makes it easy to slice and serve, whether you’re putting together a Turkish-inspired breakfast or adding cheese to a simple sandwich.
At the table in Turkey, it commonly sits alongside bread, olives and fresh vegetables; elsewhere, it works well on toast, in salads or crumbled into savoury pastries. Its flavour is savoury enough to season a dish, so taste before adding extra salt. It provides protein, but is also relatively rich in fat; pair a modest portion with tomatoes, cucumbers or leafy greens for a lighter meal.
