Sesame tulum cheese brings together tulum, a traditional Turkish cheese, and sesame. Tulum is commonly made from sheep’s milk, though some regional versions use goat’s milk or a blend, and is traditionally matured in a skin or other container. It tends to be salty, aromatic and crumbly; sesame adds a toasted, nutty note.
In Turkey, it is often served at breakfast with bread, tomatoes and cucumber, or offered as part of a meze spread. Elsewhere, try it crumbled over salads or alongside fresh vegetables and crusty bread. It provides protein and calcium and is also rich in fat, with 25 g of protein per 100 g. Its bold flavor makes a modest portion satisfying, especially paired with crisp, fresh ingredients.
