In Turkey, it commonly appears at breakfast, sliced or crumbled alongside bread, olives, tomatoes and cucumbers. Its mild, savoury taste and easy-to-slice texture also work well in sandwiches, toasties and savoury pastries; outside Turkey, use it anywhere you would use a mild everyday cheese.
It provides protein and calcium, with 20 g of protein per 100 g, and its reduced-fat profile makes it a lighter option than full-fat cheese. Pair it with fresh vegetables for a simple meal, or add it to a dish near the end of cooking so it keeps its texture.
