Frequently Asked Questions About Fatty Cecil Cheese
What is Fatty Cecil Cheese?
Fatty Cecil Cheese is a traditional Turkish cheese with a stringy texture that pulls apart into strands. It belongs to the cecil family of cheeses associated with eastern Turkey, and its richer style has a fuller, softer character.
How is Fatty Cecil Cheese made?
Fatty Cecil Cheese is made by working cheese curds in hot water and stretching them into long strands. The strands are then salted and shaped, often into a braid or bundle; local methods and the milk used can vary.
What does Fatty Cecil Cheese taste like?
Fatty Cecil Cheese usually tastes milky and savory, with saltiness that varies by maker. Its higher-fat style tends to feel richer and softer than leaner cecil cheeses, while its defining feature is its pull-apart texture.
How do you eat Fatty Cecil Cheese?
Fatty Cecil Cheese is commonly pulled into strands and eaten at breakfast or as a snack. Serve it with bread and fresh vegetables, or add it to eggs, pastries, and other warm dishes that suit a stringy cheese.
Is Fatty Cecil Cheese the same as string cheese?
No, Fatty Cecil Cheese is not simply another name for all string cheese. It is a traditional Turkish cecil cheese made in a characteristic strand-forming process; other string cheeses can use different methods, milk, and seasoning.
Does Fatty Cecil Cheese melt well?
Fatty Cecil Cheese softens and can stretch when heated, but it may not melt into a smooth, even sauce. Pull it into shorter strands and use it in pastries, toast, or eggs for a more even result.
Where does Fatty Cecil Cheese come from?
Fatty Cecil Cheese is associated with eastern Turkey, where cecil cheese is a regional tradition. Erzurum and nearby areas are especially known for cecil; recipes and texture can differ from one producer or locality to another.
How should you store Fatty Cecil Cheese?
Keep Fatty Cecil Cheese refrigerated in a tightly closed container. If it is packed in brine, store it in that brine; if it is sold dry, wrap it well to prevent it from drying out and use clean hands when serving.
Can you freeze Fatty Cecil Cheese?
Yes, you can freeze Fatty Cecil Cheese, though freezing may make its strands drier or more crumbly after thawing. Divide it into portions, seal them well, and thaw in the refrigerator; the thawed cheese is best used in cooked dishes.
Can Fatty Cecil Cheese be used in börek?
Yes, Fatty Cecil Cheese can be used as a börek filling. Pull it into strands and use it alone or with another cheese; taste it first, since its saltiness varies, and adjust the filling accordingly.

What is Fatty Cecil Cheese?
Fatty Cecil Cheese is a rich, stringy Turkish cheese, associated especially with eastern Anatolia. It is made by stretching and pulling curds into fine strands; the fatty version has a fuller flavour and softer, more yielding texture. Pull the strands apart to eat it, or break off a piece to add to bread.
In Turkey, it commonly appears at breakfast, often alongside tomatoes, cucumber and tea, and can also be tucked into gözleme or börek. Its savoury, slightly tangy taste brings plenty of character to simple foods. It is protein-rich, with 24 g per 100 g, but also high in fat. Pair a modest portion with fresh vegetables or use it sparingly in a filling for a less rich meal.
