What is Torku fresh strained cheese?
Torku fresh strained cheese is a Turkish fresh cheese that has been drained to give it a thick, creamy texture. Made by the Turkish dairy brand Torku, it is easy to spread on bread and works well in sandwiches or wraps.
Its mild, slightly tangy flavour suits tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and fresh herbs. In Turkey, it is commonly served at breakfast, while elsewhere it can be used much like a soft spreadable cheese. It is relatively high in fat for a fresh cheese, with 24 g per 100 g, and provides some protein. For a lighter snack, use a modest layer on wholegrain bread and add plenty of crisp vegetables.
