Tul Cheese is a traditional Turkish cheese known for its soft texture, white color, and salty taste. It is minimally processed and is commonly served at breakfast or used in simple dishes.
Tul Cheese is often eaten at breakfast with bread, tomatoes, and olives. You can also crumble or slice it into salads, sandwiches, and pastries; reduce the added salt in a recipe because the cheese is already salty.
Tul Cheese softens when heated, but how smoothly it melts can vary with its moisture and texture. It can work in toast or pastries, though it may not become as stretchy as mozzarella; test a small amount first.
Tul Cheese has a mild, milky flavor with noticeable saltiness. Its soft texture makes it easy to slice or crumble, and its salt can stand out more when eaten on its own than when paired with bread or vegetables.
Tul Cheese is made from milk using traditional cheesemaking methods. Recipes and production details can vary by maker, so there is not one universal method; follow a tested recipe if you plan to make it at home.
Tul Cheese and Turkish string cheese are different varieties, even though their names may be confused. Turkish string cheese is characteristically pulled into strands, while Tul Cheese is described as soft and white; texture can vary between producers.
Keep Tul Cheese refrigerated in a clean, airtight container after opening. Use a clean utensil each time, and discard it if you notice mold, an unusual smell, or a slimy surface.
Yes, Tul Cheese can be frozen, but thawing may make it crumbly or watery. It is usually better to save frozen portions for cooked dishes such as pastries than to serve them sliced at breakfast.
To reduce the saltiness of Tul Cheese, soak a small piece briefly in cold water and taste it before soaking longer. Extended soaking can weaken its texture and flavor, so keep the cheese refrigerated afterward.
Soft white cheese or Turkish string cheese can substitute for Tul Cheese, depending on the dish. White cheese gives a crumbly texture, while string cheese is more fibrous and stretchy, so neither will match it exactly.

Tul Cheese is a traditional Turkish cheese with a soft, white appearance and a distinctly salty taste. In Turkey, it is commonly served sliced at breakfast, alongside bread and other simple table staples, and can also be used as a filling for savoury pastries.
Its yielding texture makes it easy to eat on its own or pair with fresh vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumber. Tul Cheese provides protein, while also being relatively high in fat; a modest portion with vegetables and bread makes a balanced addition to a breakfast or snack.
Medium
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
