2 slice (medium) of Sliced white cheese (40 g) has 106 calories. That works out to 265 calories per 100 g. It contains 0.8 g of carbs, 6.6 g of protein, 8.4 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 0.5 µg of B12 covers 20% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 30 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Sliced white cheese is the ready-cut form of the brined white cheese commonly served at Turkish tables. The cheese is matured in salty brine, then cut into flat slices that are easy to layer on bread. It is usually mildly tangy and salty, with a soft but fairly firm texture; the exact saltiness varies by style.
In Turkey, it is a familiar part of breakfast, often eaten with tomatoes, cucumber, olives and bread alongside tea. Elsewhere, the slices also work well in sandwiches or a simple lunch plate. It provides protein and calcium, while also being fairly rich in fat. Pair a few slices with fresh vegetables for a lighter, more balanced meal.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

No. Sliced white cheese is a Turkish-style brined cheese, while feta is a Greek cheese with its own protected style and production rules. They are both salty, tangy white cheeses, so feta can often stand in for it, but the flavour and texture may differ.
Keep sliced white cheese refrigerated in a clean, airtight container after opening. If it came packed in brine, keep the slices covered with that brine; otherwise, retain the original wrapper inside the sealed container. Use clean utensils to avoid contaminating the cheese.
Yes, sliced white cheese can be frozen, but thawing may make it crumbly or watery. Separate the slices with baking paper, seal them well, and thaw them in the refrigerator. The changed texture is less noticeable when the cheese is baked into a pie or casserole.
Sliced white cheese softens when heated but usually does not melt into the stretchy, smooth layer you get from cheddar or mozzarella. Use it for a tangy, crumbly filling, or pair it with a melting cheese if you want the sandwich to become gooey.
Yes, sliced white cheese works well in an omelette. Crumble or tear it into the eggs near the end of cooking so it warms without disappearing into the mixture. Taste before adding salt, since brined white cheese can make the finished omelette salty.
Soak sliced white cheese briefly in cold water, then drain and pat it dry to reduce its saltiness. Avoid leaving thin slices in water for a long time, because they can break apart and lose flavour. Replace the water once if the cheese is especially salty.
Sliced white cheese can be grilled, but it may soften, crumble, or stick rather than hold a firm shape like halloumi. Grill it briefly on a well-oiled surface or place it on foil, and handle the slices gently when turning.
Sliced white cheese can crumble because its brined, relatively soft structure breaks easily, especially when the cheese is dry, cold, or handled roughly. Let it sit briefly at room temperature before serving and lift the slices gently; crumbling does not by itself mean the cheese has spoiled.
Sliced white cheese can be used on pizza, but it will taste saltier and more tangy than mozzarella and will not give the same stretchy melt. Drain excess liquid, crumble or tear the slices, and combine them with mozzarella if you want a less salty, stringier topping.
Yes, sliced white cheese is commonly eaten without cooking in sandwiches, salads, and cheese plates. Keep it refrigerated after opening and serve it with clean utensils. If it has been left warm for an extended period or develops an unusual smell or texture, discard it.
