Frequently Asked Questions About Ricotta with walnuts
What is cevizli lor peyniri?
Cevizli lor peyniri is a Turkish fresh curd cheese mixed with walnuts; it is not ricotta, despite the similar name sometimes used for it. It has a soft, mild base with crunchy walnut pieces and can be served savory or sweet.
How do you make cevizli lor peyniri?
Cevizli lor peyniri is made by mixing chopped walnuts into fresh lor curd. Keep the walnut pieces fairly large for crunch, and add them shortly before serving if you want them to retain their texture.
How do you eat cevizli lor peyniri?
Cevizli lor peyniri is commonly eaten spread on bread or served as part of a breakfast plate. Pair it with fresh vegetables and herbs for a savory bite, or add honey for a sweeter serving.
Can you use cevizli lor peyniri in börek?
Yes, cevizli lor peyniri can be used as a börek filling. Drain excess liquid from the lor first so the pastry does not turn soggy, and leave the walnuts roughly chopped to preserve their texture.
Is cevizli lor peyniri sweet or savory?
Cevizli lor peyniri can be either sweet or savory. Its mild curd and walnuts work with herbs and spices, or with honey or molasses; the additions determine the overall flavor.
Can you use cevizli lor peyniri instead of ricotta?
Sometimes, but cevizli lor peyniri is Turkish lor curd, not ricotta, and its moisture and texture can vary. It can work in a filling where a mild fresh cheese is suitable, though the walnuts will change the flavor and texture.
How should you store cevizli lor peyniri?
Store cevizli lor peyniri in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Use a clean utensil when serving, and do not leave it out for extended periods; keeping the walnuts separate until serving helps them stay crunchy.
Can you freeze cevizli lor peyniri?
Yes, cevizli lor peyniri can be frozen, but the lor may become watery or grainier after thawing and the walnuts can soften. For a better texture, freeze the lor separately and stir in fresh walnuts after it has thawed.
Does cevizli lor peyniri melt when cooked?
No, cevizli lor peyniri does not melt and stretch like a melting cheese. It softens when heated and may release moisture, so drain it before using it in warm fillings such as börek.
Does cevizli lor peyniri go well with honey?
Yes, cevizli lor peyniri pairs well with honey. The honey adds sweetness to the mild curd, while the walnuts bring crunch; serve the combination on bread or as a simple breakfast bowl.

What is Ricotta with walnuts?
Cevizli lor peyniri is Turkish fresh curd cheese mixed with walnuts; the English page label, “ricotta with walnuts,” is not quite the same cheese. Lor is mild, moist and slightly crumbly, while the walnuts bring a deeper, earthy flavour and a pleasant crunch.
In Turkey, it may be served at breakfast with bread, sometimes alongside herbs or olive oil, and can also be used as a filling for savoury pastries. It offers protein as well as fats from the walnuts, making a modest portion satisfying. For a lighter, less salty version, choose lightly salted lor and adjust the amount of walnuts to taste.
