Frequently Asked Questions About Sur cheese
What does Sur cheese taste like?
Sur cheese tastes salty, tangy and distinctly spiced, with a fermented aroma. The exact flavour varies by recipe and how long it is matured, so try a small piece before adding it to a dish.
How do you eat Sur cheese?
Sur cheese is often crumbled or spread on bread and served as part of a meal or snack. You can also use it in salads, dips and sandwiches; its saltiness may mean you need less added salt.
How is Sur cheese traditionally made?
Sur cheese is made by seasoning a curd-based cheese mixture and allowing it to ferment. Recipes differ between producers and regions, so the spices, texture and length of fermentation are not always the same.
How should you store Sur cheese after opening?
Keep Sur cheese refrigerated in a clean, tightly sealed container after opening. Avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods, and follow any storage instructions on its packaging.
Is Sur cheese the same as sürk cheese?
The names can refer to closely related regional cheeses made from seasoned, fermented curd, but recipes and naming vary by locality. Check the product’s ingredients and style rather than assuming every Sur cheese is identical to sürk.
Can you cook with Sur cheese?
Yes, Sur cheese can be crumbled into eggs, stirred into savoury fillings or added to a dish near the end of cooking. Its pronounced flavour works well in small amounts, and it can make a recipe saltier.
Can you freeze Sur cheese?
Yes, you can freeze Sur cheese in a well-sealed package, preferably divided into portions. Thaw it in the refrigerator; freezing may make its texture more crumbly, so it is often better suited to cooked dishes afterward.
Can Sur cheese replace feta in a recipe?
Sur cheese can replace feta when a recipe calls for a salty, crumbly cheese, but the result will taste more fermented and spiced. Start with less than the amount of feta and adjust the seasoning after tasting.
Is Sur cheese very salty?
Yes, Sur cheese is typically quite salty as well as spiced. If you find the flavour intense, use a smaller amount alongside bread or unsalted ingredients, and avoid adding extra salt to the dish until you have tasted it.
How can you tell if Sur cheese has gone bad?
Discard Sur cheese if it develops an unexpected unpleasant smell, visible mould or a slimy surface. Fermentation gives it a distinctive aroma, so look for new, clearly abnormal changes rather than its usual tangy smell.

What is Sur cheese?
Sur cheese is a regional Turkish cheese made by seasoning fermented milk curds with salt and spices. Its exact seasoning and texture can vary between makers; it is typically savoury, distinctly salty and crumbly or dense. The fermentation gives it a more pronounced flavour than a mild fresh cheese.
In Turkey, it is commonly enjoyed in small amounts at breakfast, with bread and fresh vegetables, or served as part of a meze spread. It also works crumbled over a salad or alongside plain bread, where its bold flavour can season the whole bite. Sur cheese provides protein, but is also rich in fat and salt, so a modest serving is often enough; pair it with tomatoes, cucumber or other fresh produce.
