Frequently Asked Questions About Tabriz white cheese
What is Tabriz white cheese?
Tabriz white cheese is a brined cheese associated with Tabriz, in northwestern Iran. It is sold in different textures and salt levels, and is commonly eaten as part of a meal rather than used only as a cooking cheese.
What milk is Tabriz white cheese made from?
The milk used for Tabriz white cheese can vary by producer and recipe. It may be made with cow’s, sheep’s, or goat’s milk, so check the product details if you need to know which milk was used.
What does Tabriz white cheese taste like?
Tabriz white cheese is typically salty, tangy, and milky, with a texture that can range from soft to fairly firm. Its brine contributes to its pronounced taste, so the saltiness can differ between brands and batches.
Is Tabriz white cheese the same as feta?
No, Tabriz white cheese is not feta, although both can be salty, brined white cheeses. They come from different food traditions and may vary in texture and flavor, so substituting one for the other can change a dish.
How is Tabriz white cheese traditionally served?
Tabriz white cheese is often served as part of an Iranian meal, including breakfast, with bread, herbs, and fresh vegetables. Its salty flavor pairs well with crisp, fresh ingredients; taste it before adding extra salt to the meal.
Can you cook with Tabriz white cheese?
Yes, Tabriz white cheese can be crumbled into omelets, savory pastries, or baked dishes. It may soften with heat but does not necessarily melt into a smooth, stretchy sauce, so it works best where a crumbly texture is welcome.
Why is Tabriz white cheese kept in brine?
Tabriz white cheese is kept in brine to preserve moisture and develop its characteristic salty flavor. If the cheese comes packed in brine, keeping it covered in that liquid after opening can help prevent it from drying out.
How should you store Tabriz white cheese after opening?
Store Tabriz white cheese in the refrigerator in a clean, covered container. Keep it in its original brine if it was sold that way, and use clean utensils when serving to help maintain its quality.
Can you freeze Tabriz white cheese?
Yes, you can freeze Tabriz white cheese, but thawing may make its texture drier or more crumbly. Use frozen and thawed cheese in cooked dishes or pastries rather than expecting it to keep its original texture for serving cold.

No, Tabriz white cheese and Lighvan cheese are distinct Iranian cheeses. Lighvan is particularly associated with the village of Lighvan and sheep’s milk, while Tabriz cheese can vary by producer in its milk and preparation.
