Frequently Asked Questions About Sliced Cecil cheese
What is sliced Cecil cheese made from?
Sliced Cecil cheese is made from cheese curds that are heated, worked, and drawn into thin strands before being salted and sliced. Traditional versions are often made with cow’s milk, though the milk used can vary by producer.
Why does sliced Cecil cheese pull apart into strings?
Sliced Cecil cheese pulls into strings because its curds are stretched and aligned into fibres during production. Separate the strands by hand for a traditional snack, or leave the slices intact when adding them to a sandwich.
Is sliced Cecil cheese the same as string cheese?
No, sliced Cecil cheese is not quite the same as the familiar individually portioned string cheese. Both can separate into strands, but Cecil is a traditional stretched-curd cheese that is often sold as a larger braided or layered piece and sliced for serving.
How does sliced Cecil cheese compare with mozzarella?
Sliced Cecil cheese is typically saltier and more distinctly stringy than fresh mozzarella. Both are stretched-curd cheeses, but mozzarella is usually mild and moist, while Cecil is often salted and made to pull into thinner strands.
Can sliced Cecil cheese be cooked or melted?
Yes, sliced Cecil cheese can be heated in dishes such as toasties, flatbreads, and savoury pastries. It softens when warm, but does not always melt into the smooth, even layer you might expect from a melting cheese.
How do you reduce the saltiness of sliced Cecil cheese?
Briefly soaking sliced Cecil cheese in cold water can reduce its saltiness; taste a piece before soaking it longer. Extended soaking may soften the cheese and dilute its flavour, so leave out or reduce added salt in the recipe too.
How should sliced Cecil cheese be stored after opening?
Store sliced Cecil cheese in the refrigerator in an airtight container after opening. Keeping it covered helps prevent drying and stops it absorbing other food odours; follow the package’s storage directions and use-by date.
Can you freeze sliced Cecil cheese?
Yes, you can freeze sliced Cecil cheese, although thawing may change its moisture and stringy texture. Seal it well, thaw it in the refrigerator, and use it in a hot dish if the texture is less pleasant for eating as is.
What do you eat sliced Cecil cheese with?
Sliced Cecil cheese pairs well with bread, tomatoes, olives, and eggs, and can also be added to savoury pastries. Its salty flavour works best alongside milder ingredients, so taste the dish before adding extra salt.
Does sliced Cecil cheese contain a lot of salt?
Sliced Cecil cheese is often quite salty because salt is used in its preparation. If you need to limit sodium, use a smaller amount, pair it with unsalted foods, and follow your clinician’s advice if you have a sodium-related health concern.

What is Sliced Cecil cheese?
Sliced Cecil cheese is çeçil, a Turkish cheese with a stringy texture, cut into convenient slices. Traditionally made from cow’s milk, it is especially associated with eastern Turkey, including the Erzurum region. Its savoury, distinctly salty flavour and supple strands make it a natural fit for breakfast, served with bread, tomatoes and olives. It can also be tucked into sandwiches or used in börek; warming it brings out its stretchy texture. It offers substantial protein for a cheese, while its saltiness is worth balancing with fresh, unsalted accompaniments.
