Muratbey Top Cheese is a soft, salty cow’s-milk cheese shaped into small balls. Its moist texture makes it easy to serve whole as a snack, add to breakfast, or use as a topping for salads.
No, Muratbey Top Cheese is not mozzarella. Both may be sold in ball shapes, but Muratbey Top Cheese is a salty Turkish cheese and is not known for mozzarella’s stretchy, stringy melt.
You can eat Muratbey Top Cheese straight from the package or serve it with bread, vegetables, and olives. Its small shape also works well in lunchboxes or on a snack plate; taste it before adding other salty foods.
Muratbey Top Cheese softens when heated, but it does not melt into the same stretchy strands as mozzarella. Add it near the end of cooking if you want to retain some of its shape in a baked dish or pasta.
Yes, Muratbey Top Cheese works well in salads. Keep the balls whole or cut them in half, then combine them with tomatoes, cucumber, greens, and olive oil. Add salt only after tasting the finished salad.
Keep Muratbey Top Cheese refrigerated in a closed container after opening. If it came packed in brine, keep the cheese covered in that liquid and follow the package’s storage directions; discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
You can freeze Muratbey Top Cheese, but its soft, moist texture may change after thawing and become crumbly or watery. For the best texture, keep it refrigerated and use it fresh rather than freezing it.
Yes, Muratbey Top Cheese is a salty cheese. The taste can stand out alongside olives, cured meats, or salted crackers, so try it before seasoning a dish or adding another salty ingredient.
Yes, Muratbey Top Cheese can be added to börek filling or used on pasta. Mash it into the filling for a more even texture, or stir it into cooked pasta at the end so it softens without breaking down too much.
Muratbey Top Cheese provides protein and can make a convenient snack, but it is also salty and rich. Pair a modest portion with fresh vegetables or fruit for a more satisfying snack rather than eating it by itself.

Muratbey Top Cheese is a Turkish cow’s-milk cheese shaped into small, smooth balls. It has a moist texture and a pleasantly salty flavour, making it easy to serve whole or add to other dishes.
In Turkey, it often appears at breakfast alongside tomatoes, cucumber, olives and bread, and it also works well on a meze platter or tossed through a salad. For other tables, try it with fresh vegetables, crusty bread or alongside grilled dishes. It provides protein as well as a substantial amount of fat: a 100 g portion has 18 g of protein. Pair a few cheese balls with plenty of greens and vegetables for a lighter plate.
