Frequently Asked Questions About Pazar Cheese
What is Pazar Cheese?
Pazar Cheese is a traditional salty, semi-hard white cheese from Turkey’s Black Sea region. It can be eaten on its own or used in recipes that call for a flavorful white cheese.
What does Pazar Cheese taste like?
Pazar Cheese tastes salty and has a firmer bite than soft, spreadable white cheeses. Its saltiness pairs well with plain bread and fresh vegetables, and can season a dish without much added salt.
How is Pazar Cheese different from feta?
Pazar Cheese is a Turkish Black Sea cheese described as semi-hard, while feta is commonly a brined, crumbly cheese. Their texture and saltiness can vary by producer, so they may not behave identically in recipes.
How do you eat Pazar Cheese?
Pazar Cheese is often enjoyed sliced, especially as part of a breakfast spread with bread and fresh vegetables. Its pronounced saltiness also makes it suitable for adding small pieces to salads or savory dishes.
Can you cook with Pazar Cheese?
Yes, Pazar Cheese can be used in savory dishes such as omelets, toast, and filled pastries. Taste the dish before adding salt, since the cheese is already salty; its melting texture may vary.
Can Pazar Cheese be used in Turkish mıhlama?
You can try Pazar Cheese in mıhlama, but it may not create the classic stretchy texture on its own. Its semi-hard consistency may behave differently from cheeses selected specifically for melting.
How should you store Pazar Cheese after opening?
Keep Pazar Cheese refrigerated in a tightly sealed container to limit drying and prevent it from absorbing other odors. Follow any storage directions on its original packaging, especially if it is sold in brine.
Can you freeze Pazar Cheese?
Yes, Pazar Cheese can be frozen, though thawing may make it drier or more crumbly. It is usually better to use thawed cheese in cooked dishes such as pastries or omelets than to serve it in slices.
How can you make Pazar Cheese less salty?
Briefly soaking Pazar Cheese in cold water can draw out some of its salt. Check the taste as it soaks, because a longer soak can also wash away some of the cheese’s flavor.
Is Pazar Cheese a good substitute for feta?
Pazar Cheese can replace feta in some savory dishes when you want a salty white cheese, but the firmer texture may change the result. Crumble or grate it as needed, and adjust added salt after tasting.

What is Pazar Cheese?
Pazar Cheese is a traditional, salty, semi-hard white cheese from Turkey’s Black Sea region. It holds its shape when sliced, with a pleasantly firm texture that can crumble a little and a pronounced, savoury dairy flavour.
In Turkey, it is commonly served at breakfast with bread and fresh vegetables, and it also works well in sandwiches or savoury pastries. Its saltiness makes it a flavourful addition rather than a cheese to pile on generously. It provides protein along with fat, so pair a modest slice with tomatoes, cucumber or other fresh produce for a balanced plate.
