What is Tobiko cheese?

Tobiko cheese combines cheese with tobiko, the small flying-fish roe commonly associated with Japanese cuisine. It is a savory, salty cheese product rather than a traditional everyday cheese, with the roe adding both flavor and a distinctive speckled appearance.

The little eggs bring a subtle pop and a briny note, so Tobiko cheese works well spread on toast or crackers, served with sliced vegetables, or added in a small amount to a sushi-inspired snack board. Its rich, fatty character makes it satisfying, while it also provides protein. Because the flavor is quite assertive, start with a modest portion; fresh cucumber or other crisp vegetables make a refreshing pairing.
