Frequently Asked Questions About Salted kelle cheese
What is salted kelle cheese?
Salted kelle cheese is a traditional Turkish cheese made by forming milk curds into a wheel or block and salting them, often in brine. Its taste and firmness vary with the milk and production method, so products sold under the name may not be identical.
What does salted kelle cheese taste like?
Salted kelle cheese tastes savory and distinctly salty, with a milky flavor and a texture that can range from firm to slightly crumbly. Its intensity varies by producer, so taste a small piece before adding it to a recipe that already contains salt.
Can salted kelle cheese replace feta in a recipe?
Salted kelle cheese can replace feta in some salads, pastries, and savory fillings, but the result may be firmer and saltier. Crumble or grate it as needed, and reduce added salt; it may not give the same creamy texture as feta.
How is salted kelle cheese usually served?
Salted kelle cheese is commonly sliced or crumbled and served with bread, vegetables, or olives. It also works in savory pastries and other cooked dishes; pair it with milder ingredients so its saltiness does not dominate the plate.
How do you make salted kelle cheese less salty?
Soak salted kelle cheese briefly in cold water, then taste it and change the water if it is still too salty. Avoid a long soak, which can dull the flavor and soften the texture; pat the cheese dry before using it.
Can you grill salted kelle cheese?
You can grill some firm varieties of salted kelle cheese, but the result depends on how moist and compact the cheese is. Test a small piece first; if it softens too quickly, use it in a filling or cook it in a pan instead.
Does salted kelle cheese melt well in a toastie?
Salted kelle cheese may soften in a toastie, but it does not always melt into the stretchy texture people expect from melting cheeses. Grating it can help it heat more evenly, and combining it with a mild melting cheese changes the texture.
How should you store salted kelle cheese after opening?
Keep opened salted kelle cheese covered in the refrigerator. If it came in brine, storing it in clean brine helps prevent it from drying out; otherwise, use a clean, airtight container and keep it away from uncovered foods.
Can salted kelle cheese be frozen?
Yes, salted kelle cheese can be frozen, though thawing may make it drier or more crumbly. Portion and seal it well before freezing, then use the thawed cheese in cooked dishes such as pastries, where a change in texture is less noticeable.

What is Salted kelle cheese?
Salted kelle cheese is a traditional Turkish brined cheese, commonly sold in large, firm moulds; the milk and exact method can vary by region and producer. Its name refers to the mould’s rounded, head-like shape.
It has a savoury, distinctly salty taste and a dense texture that holds up well when sliced. In Turkey it is often served at breakfast with bread, olives and fresh vegetables, and it also works in sandwiches or salads. It is protein-rich, but also fairly high in fat and salt: 100 g provides 295 kcal. For a lighter plate, use a modest slice with plenty of tomatoes, cucumber or greens; if it tastes too salty, briefly soak it in water before serving.
