Frequently Asked Questions About Sivas cheese
What is Sivas cheese?
Sivas cheese is a traditional Turkish cheese associated with the Sivas region. Its texture and production style can vary by maker, and it is commonly served at breakfast or alongside meals.
How is Sivas cheese made?
Sivas cheese is made by coagulating milk, draining the curds and salting them; details vary between producers. It is a processed dairy food because cheese-making transforms milk, but that does not automatically make it ultra-processed.
What does Sivas cheese taste like?
Sivas cheese usually has a savory, noticeably salty flavor and a firmer texture than many fresh cheeses. The exact saltiness and firmness vary with the milk, recipe and production method.
What milk is used to make Sivas cheese?
The milk used for Sivas cheese can vary by producer and recipe. It may be made with sheep’s, cow’s or goat’s milk, or a blend, and the choice affects the cheese’s flavor and texture.
How do you eat Sivas cheese?
Sivas cheese is often eaten at breakfast with bread, tomatoes and olives, or used in pastries and cooked dishes. If the cheese tastes especially salty, pair it with unsalted foods to balance the meal.
How is Sivas cheese different from feta?
Sivas cheese and feta are not the same cheese. Feta is a Greek brined cheese with a defined style, while Sivas cheese has regional Turkish production traditions and can vary in firmness and saltiness.
Does Sivas cheese melt well?
Sivas cheese may soften when heated, but it does not always melt into a smooth, stretchy layer. Its behavior depends on the particular cheese, so crumble a small amount into a hot dish first to test it.
How should you store Sivas cheese?
Keep Sivas cheese refrigerated in a covered container, ideally in its brine if it was sold in brine. Use a clean utensil, avoid leaving it at room temperature for long, and follow the package’s storage instructions.
Can you freeze Sivas cheese?
Yes, Sivas cheese can be frozen, although thawing may make it crumbly or watery. For that reason, frozen-and-thawed cheese is usually better in pastries or cooked dishes than served in fresh slices.
Can you eat Sivas cheese during pregnancy?
Sivas cheese can be eaten during pregnancy if it is made from pasteurized milk and has been kept properly chilled. If you cannot confirm that the milk was pasteurized, ask your healthcare professional before eating it.

What is Sivas cheese?
Sivas cheese is a traditional cheese from the Sivas region of central Turkey, made by curdling and draining milk. Its texture and flavour can vary with the maker and ageing: it is generally savoury, ranging from fairly mild to tangy, and may be soft-firm or quite firm.
In Turkey, it is often served at breakfast with bread, tomatoes and olives, and can also be added to pastries or a cheese board. It is protein-rich and filling, with a substantial amount of fat.
