Frequently Asked Questions About Soft tulum cheese
What is soft tulum cheese?
Soft tulum cheese is a Turkish cheese with a moist, tender texture and a savory, often tangy taste. It belongs to the tulum cheese tradition, in which salted curds are matured; ingredients and methods vary by producer and region.
How is soft tulum cheese different from feta?
Soft tulum cheese is generally richer in flavor and may be softer or more spreadable, while feta is usually brined and has a clean, tangy taste with a sliceable or crumbly texture. They are not interchangeable in every recipe.
What does soft tulum cheese taste like?
Soft tulum cheese usually tastes salty, tangy, and more robust than mild fresh cheeses. Its exact flavor varies with the milk and maturation, so a small taste first can help you decide how much to add to a dish.
How is soft tulum cheese traditionally made?
Soft tulum cheese is made by curdling milk, draining the curds, salting them, and allowing the cheese to mature. Traditional tulum cheeses may mature in animal-skin bags, but softer commercial versions can use different containers and methods.
How do you serve soft tulum cheese?
Serve soft tulum cheese at breakfast with bread, olives, tomatoes, or fresh herbs, or crumble it over salads and cooked vegetables. Its pronounced saltiness pairs well with mild, unsalted ingredients rather than other salty toppings.
Can you use soft tulum cheese in börek?
Yes, soft tulum cheese works as a börek filling, either on its own or mixed with herbs or a milder cheese. Taste it before seasoning the filling, since its saltiness can make extra salt unnecessary.
Does soft tulum cheese melt well?
Soft tulum cheese softens when heated, but it may not melt into the smooth, stretchy layer you get from a good melting cheese. It works well in fillings and baked dishes where a creamy, savory texture is welcome.
How should you store soft tulum cheese after opening?
Keep soft tulum cheese refrigerated in a tightly covered container after opening, and use a clean utensil each time. Avoid leaving it out for extended periods, and follow the storage directions on its package if they differ.
Can you freeze soft tulum cheese?
Yes, you can freeze soft tulum cheese, though thawing may make its texture more crumbly or watery. It is usually better to use thawed cheese in börek or cooked dishes than to serve it as a spread.
Can you eat soft tulum cheese during pregnancy?
Soft tulum cheese can be eaten during pregnancy if it is made from pasteurized milk and has been stored safely. Avoid it if pasteurization is uncertain, and ask your healthcare provider about any pregnancy-specific concerns.

What is Soft tulum cheese?
Soft tulum cheese is a Turkish cheese with a tender, often crumbly texture. Tulum cheeses are traditionally made with sheep’s milk, though regional versions may use goat’s or cow’s milk, and their methods of ageing vary. Its flavour is savoury and distinctly salty, with a gentle tang that can vary from one producer or region to another.
In Turkey, it is commonly served at breakfast with bread, tomatoes and herbs, or folded into gözleme and börek; it also works well on a mezze platter. English-speaking cooks can crumble it over salads or serve it with fresh vegetables and crusty bread. It provides protein and calcium, but is rich in fat and salt, so a modest portion alongside crisp vegetables makes a balanced, flavourful meal.
