Lor purée with olive oil is a Turkish-style spread or meze made by mixing lor cheese with olive oil until soft. It may be seasoned with herbs or spices, but the exact additions vary by recipe.
To make lor purée with olive oil, mash lor cheese with a little olive oil until it reaches a spreadable consistency. Use a fork for a rustic texture or briefly blend it for a smoother purée, adding oil gradually.
Serve lor purée with olive oil with bread, toast, crackers, or raw vegetables. It also works as part of a meze spread; fresh herbs or a small drizzle of olive oil on top make a simple garnish.
It can resemble a ricotta spread, but lor and ricotta are not identical cheeses. Lor is a Turkish fresh cheese, often made from whey, and its flavor and texture vary; olive oil gives this purée a richer, smoother finish.
Yes, lor purée with olive oil works as a sandwich spread. Pair it with vegetables or herbs, and spread it on just before eating if the bread is delicate, since the moist cheese can soften it.
Lor purée with olive oil can remain grainy because lor cheese is naturally curd-like rather than completely smooth. Mash it more thoroughly or pulse it briefly in a food processor; add olive oil gradually to help bring the mixture together.
Yes, you can add chopped herbs, garlic, or black pepper to lor purée with olive oil. Parsley and dill keep the flavor fresh, while garlic makes it more assertive; mix in a little at a time so the lor remains noticeable.
Lor purée with olive oil is usually served cold or at room temperature, rather than heated on its own. If you want to add it to a warm dish, stir it in after cooking to help preserve its soft texture.
Store lor purée with olive oil in a covered container in the refrigerator, and serve it with a clean utensil. Because lor is a fresh cheese, do not leave the purée at room temperature for an extended period; discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Freezing lor purée with olive oil is not ideal. Thawing can make the cheese grainy and cause the oil to separate, so prepare an amount you can use fresh for the best texture.

Lor Purée with Olive Oil is a simple Turkish preparation of fresh lor cheese, mashed with olive oil until soft and spreadable. Lor has a mild, milky flavour, while the oil adds a fruity note; the finished purée can be smooth or slightly crumbly depending on how it is mixed.
In Turkey, it is often served at breakfast with bread and fresh vegetables, or offered as a small meze alongside other dishes. It provides protein, with 11.5 g per 100 g, and the olive oil makes it richer than plain lor. For a lighter serving, use a modest amount of oil and pair it with crisp vegetables or toasted bread.
