Frequently Asked Questions About Sivak aged tulum cheese
What is Sivak aged tulum cheese, and how is tulum cheese made?
Sivak aged tulum cheese is a Turkish-style aged cheese in the tulum family. Traditionally, tulum cheese is salted, drained and matured, often in a skin or another container; methods and milk blends vary by producer, so the name does not specify one recipe.
How does Sivak aged tulum cheese taste compared with feta?
Sivak aged tulum cheese is typically firmer, more crumbly and more intensely savory than mild feta because it is aged. Feta is usually brined and has a tangier, moister texture, though both cheeses vary between makers.
What do you eat with Sivak aged tulum cheese?
Sivak aged tulum cheese works well with bread, tomatoes, olives and fresh herbs. Its strong flavor also suits salads, eggs and savory pastries; crumble it over a dish rather than serving a large, thick piece if you prefer a milder bite.
Can you cook with Sivak aged tulum cheese?
Yes, Sivak aged tulum cheese can be used in hot dishes, especially as a filling or a savory topping. It tends to crumble rather than melt into a stretchy, smooth layer, so combine it with other ingredients in pastries, eggs or baked dishes.
How should you store Sivak aged tulum cheese after opening?
Keep Sivak aged tulum cheese refrigerated in an airtight container after opening. Use a clean utensil each time and return it promptly to the refrigerator; this helps prevent drying and reduces exposure to microbes that can spoil the cheese.
Can you freeze Sivak aged tulum cheese?
Yes, Sivak aged tulum cheese can be frozen, but thawing may make its texture drier or more crumbly. Freeze it in a well-sealed portion and use it in cooked dishes after thawing, where the texture change is less noticeable.
Why is Sivak aged tulum cheese so salty and strong?
Sivak aged tulum cheese has a salty, pronounced flavor because salting and maturation are central to traditional tulum-style cheese. Pair it with fresh, unsalted foods or use a smaller amount in a recipe to keep the overall dish from tasting too salty.
Which milk is used in Sivak aged tulum cheese?
Tulum cheese may be made with sheep’s, goat’s or cow’s milk, or a blend; the name alone does not establish which milk Sivak aged tulum cheese uses. The product’s ingredient information is the reliable way to identify its specific milk.
How can you tell if Sivak aged tulum cheese has gone bad?
Discard Sivak aged tulum cheese if it develops an unusual foul smell, a slimy surface or mold that is not part of the product’s normal appearance. A clear change in smell or texture is a reason not to taste it.
Does Sivak aged tulum cheese melt like cheddar?
No, Sivak aged tulum cheese generally does not melt into the smooth, stretchy texture associated with cheddar. Its aged, relatively dry structure makes it more likely to soften and crumble, so it is best used as a filling or topping.

What is Sivak aged tulum cheese?
Sivak aged tulum cheese is a Turkish cheese made in the tulum tradition: the curds are salted and left to mature, traditionally in a goatskin bag, though other containers are now used. Tulum is made with different milks, commonly sheep’s or goat’s, and ageing gives the cheese its concentrated character.
Expect a savoury, distinctly salty taste and a firm or crumbly texture. In Turkey it is often served at breakfast with bread, olives and fresh vegetables, or as part of a cheese board; it also works crumbled over salads or folded into savoury pastries. It is rich in protein and fat, with very little carbohydrate. Because its flavour is intense, a modest portion alongside fresh produce makes a balanced pairing.
