Frequently Asked Questions About Tulum cheese and butter mix

What is Tulum cheese and butter mix?

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.

Can Tulum cheese and butter mix be used as a filling for pastries?

What is Tulum cheese and butter mix?

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.
