Tulum cheese and butter mix is a spread made by combining Turkish tulum cheese with butter. The cheese gives it a tangy, crumbly character, while the butter softens the texture; the exact flavor varies with the cheese and the proportions used.
Tulum cheese and butter mix tastes savory, tangy, and buttery, with the strength depending on the tulum cheese used. Some versions are notably salty or sharp, so taste it before adding it to a recipe that already contains salt.
To make Tulum cheese and butter mix, mash softened butter with crumbled tulum cheese until it reaches a spreadable consistency. Use a fork for a rustic texture or briefly blend it for a smoother spread, and taste before seasoning.
Serve Tulum cheese and butter mix spread on fresh bread or toast. It also works as part of a mezze-style table with olives and sliced vegetables; letting it soften slightly before serving makes it easier to spread.
Yes, keep Tulum cheese and butter mix refrigerated in a sealed container because it contains dairy. Use a clean utensil each time, and follow the package directions for a purchased product after opening.
Yes, you can stir Tulum cheese and butter mix into scrambled eggs near the end of cooking. The cheese adds a strong savory flavor, so start with a small amount and taste before adding salt.
Not as a direct one-for-one replacement in most recipes. Tulum cheese and butter mix adds cheese solids, tang, and salt as well as fat, so it can change a baked dish’s texture and seasoning.
Yes, Tulum cheese and butter mix can be frozen, though thawing may make it grainy or cause some separation. Freeze it in small airtight portions, then thaw it in the refrigerator and stir before serving.
No, Tulum cheese and butter mix is not the same as plain Tulum cheese. It combines the cheese with butter, making it softer and easier to spread, whereas Tulum cheese on its own is typically crumbly.
Yes, Tulum cheese and butter mix can be used as a filling for savory pastries or flatbreads. Its fat can loosen the filling as it heats, so use a modest amount and avoid adding extra salt until you have tasted it.

Tulum cheese and butter mix combines Turkish tulum cheese—traditionally matured in a skin or similar casing—with butter, usually worked together into a spread. Tulum’s flavour and texture vary by region and producer, but it is often savoury and pleasantly tangy.
The butter softens the cheese’s sharpness and makes the mixture easy to spread on bread. In Turkey, it can appear at breakfast with tea or be served in a small amount alongside other meze; elsewhere, try it on toast or with plain crackers. It is rich in fat and provides protein, with 40 g of fat per 100 g. A thin spread with fresh vegetables makes for a lighter serving.
