Frequently Asked Questions About Small Black Kaşar Cheese
What is small black kaşar cheese?
Small black kaşar cheese is an aged Turkish kaşar cheese known for its dark outer appearance and strong flavour. “Black” usually describes the surface rather than the colour of the cheese throughout; the exact style can vary by producer.
Why is small black kaşar cheese black?
The dark colour of small black kaşar cheese is usually on its exterior and may develop during ageing or come from a surface coating. The name alone does not tell you which method was used, and the inside may remain a pale cheese colour.
Where does small black kaşar cheese come from?
Small black kaşar cheese belongs to the Turkish kaşar cheese tradition. Its name does not identify a specific town or region, so you cannot reliably determine its exact place of production from the food name alone.
What does small black kaşar cheese taste like?
Small black kaşar cheese has a concentrated, savoury flavour because it is aged, and it is typically more assertive than mild, young kaşar. Try a thin slice first, especially if you are pairing it with other strongly flavoured foods.
Can you eat the rind of small black kaşar cheese?
You can eat the rind of small black kaşar cheese only if it is a natural, edible rind. If the dark exterior is wax, paraffin, or another non-edible coating, remove it before serving; the name does not specify the surface treatment.
How should you serve small black kaşar cheese?
Serve small black kaşar cheese in thin slices on a cheese board, with bread, fruit, or olives. Its pronounced flavour also works grated over pasta or baked dishes, where a little can add a savoury, aged-cheese note.
Does small black kaşar cheese melt well?
Small black kaşar cheese melts, but its aged, firm texture may make it less stretchy and smooth than young kaşar. Grate it finely and combine it with a milder melting cheese if you want a softer texture in a toastie or baked dish.
How do you store small black kaşar cheese?
Keep small black kaşar cheese refrigerated and wrap it well to limit drying and contact with other foods. Use cheese paper or a covered container, and cut away any surface coating before serving if it is not meant to be eaten.
Can you freeze small black kaşar cheese?
Yes, you can freeze small black kaşar cheese, although thawing may make it drier or more crumbly. Freeze it in a well-sealed portion and use it in cooked dishes after thawing, rather than relying on it for an attractive cheese-board texture.
Can small black kaşar cheese replace Parmesan?
Small black kaşar cheese can replace Parmesan as a grated topping when you want a strong, savoury flavour, but it will not taste exactly the same. Add a little at a time, since the two cheeses differ in flavour and saltiness.

What is Small Black Kaşar Cheese?
Small Black Kaşar Cheese is a compact, aged Turkish kaşar, a firm cheese traditionally made by heating and kneading the curd. Age brings out its bold, concentrated flavour, making it more assertive than a mild everyday cheese.
In Turkey, it may be sliced for breakfast, served with bread and tea, or added to a cheese board; it also works well in sandwiches. For English-speaking readers elsewhere, try it alongside fresh fruit or crackers, or grate a little over warm dishes. It is rich in both protein and fat—100 g provides 25 g of protein—so a small piece can add plenty of flavour without needing much.
