Strained mixed Ezine cheese is commonly made from a blend of sheep’s, goat’s and cow’s milk, though the proportions vary by producer. Ezine is associated with a traditional cheese-making region in Türkiye; check the ingredient list for the exact milk blend.
It can be similarly salty and tangy, but strained mixed Ezine cheese is often firmer and richer in flavor. The taste varies with the milk blend and aging, so it is not always a one-for-one match for feta.
Serve strained mixed Ezine cheese sliced or crumbled, with bread, tomatoes, olives or fruit. Its assertive, salty flavor also works well in a cheese board; pair it with milder ingredients rather than adding more salty foods.
Yes, strained mixed Ezine cheese can replace feta in salads, pastries and savory fillings. It may be firmer or saltier, so crumble it and taste the dish before adding extra salt.
Keep strained mixed Ezine cheese refrigerated in a clean, covered container. If it came in brine, keep it in that liquid; follow the package’s instructions if it was sold without brine.
Yes, but freezing can make strained mixed Ezine cheese drier and more crumbly after thawing. Freeze it in a sealed portion and use the thawed cheese in cooked dishes rather than expecting its original serving texture.
“Strained” describes a style in which more moisture is drained from the cheese, giving it a denser texture than a wetter white cheese. The exact texture still depends on the producer and product.
Strained mixed Ezine cheese softens with heat but may not melt into long, stretchy strands. It works well crumbled over baked dishes or mixed into fillings, where a distinct salty cheese flavor is welcome.
It can be eaten during pregnancy if it is made with pasteurized milk and has been kept refrigerated as directed. If the package does not say whether the milk is pasteurized, ask your healthcare professional before eating it.
Discard strained mixed Ezine cheese if it develops an unusual sour smell, a slimy surface or visible mold. Do not taste it to check, and do not cut mold off a soft or brined cheese and eat the rest.

Strained mixed Ezine cheese is a drained, brined white cheese associated with the Ezine area of Çanakkale in north-western Turkey. Traditional Ezine cheese is made from a blend of sheep’s, goat’s and cow’s milk, with the proportions varying between producers. Straining gives this version a firmer, less wet texture than a softer fresh cheese.
Its savoury, salty flavour and sliceable texture make it a natural fit for a Turkish-style breakfast with tomatoes, cucumber, olives and bread. It also works crumbled into salads or tucked into pastries. This is a protein-rich cheese, but it is also relatively rich in fat and salt; pair it with fresh vegetables, or briefly soak it in water if you prefer a milder taste.
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.
