Frequently Asked Questions About Susurluk Kashar Cheese
What is Susurluk Kashar Cheese?
Susurluk Kashar Cheese is a traditional semi-hard Turkish cheese made from cow’s milk and associated with Susurluk in Balıkesir province. It can be eaten in slices or used in familiar Turkish dishes such as toast and börek.
What does Susurluk Kashar Cheese taste like?
Susurluk Kashar Cheese has a milky, savory flavor typical of kaşar, with saltiness and sharpness that vary by producer and aging. Younger versions are generally milder, while longer-aged cheese tends to taste more pronounced.
How is Susurluk Kashar Cheese traditionally made?
Susurluk Kashar Cheese is made by heating and kneading curds, then shaping them into cheese. The curd-cooking step gives kaşar its characteristic texture; the final firmness and flavor depend partly on how the cheese is aged.
Is Susurluk Kashar Cheese the same as Turkish aged kaşar?
Not necessarily. Susurluk Kashar Cheese names a regional style associated with Susurluk, while “aged kaşar” describes cheese matured for longer. Aging can make kaşar firmer and more intensely flavored, regardless of the regional name.
Does Susurluk Kashar Cheese melt well?
Yes, Susurluk Kashar Cheese softens and melts when heated, making it useful for toast, baked dishes, and grilled sandwiches. Slice or grate it evenly so it warms through without leaving large, unmelted pieces.
How do people traditionally serve Susurluk Kashar Cheese?
Susurluk Kashar Cheese is commonly served sliced, including at breakfast, and works well with bread, olives, or tomatoes. It is also used in hot snacks and pastries, where its savory flavor pairs naturally with dough.
How should you store Susurluk Kashar Cheese after opening?
Keep Susurluk Kashar Cheese refrigerated and wrap it tightly after opening. A close-fitting wrapper helps prevent the cut surface from drying out and stops the cheese from absorbing odors from other foods.
Can you freeze Susurluk Kashar Cheese?
Yes, you can freeze Susurluk Kashar Cheese, but thawing may make its texture drier or more crumbly. It is usually best to reserve frozen cheese for cooked dishes, such as toast or baked recipes.
What can you use instead of Susurluk Kashar Cheese in a recipe?
A mild semi-hard cheese that melts well is the closest practical substitute for Susurluk Kashar Cheese. Choose a cheese with a similar savory flavor for toast or baking; mozzarella melts readily but has a milder, less kaşar-like taste.
Can people with lactose intolerance eat Susurluk Kashar Cheese?
Some people with lactose intolerance tolerate aged, firm cheeses better, but the lactose content of Susurluk Kashar Cheese can vary with production and aging. If it causes symptoms, discuss suitable portions or alternatives with a healthcare professional.
