Frequently Asked Questions About Tulum cheese meze
What is Tulum cheese meze?
Tulum cheese meze is a Turkish appetizer made with crumbled tulum cheese, often mixed or topped with olive oil and other ingredients. Recipes vary: herbs, walnuts, spices, or yogurt may be included, so the name does not describe one fixed recipe.
How do you make Tulum cheese meze?
Crumble tulum cheese with a fork, then mix it with olive oil and any herbs or seasonings you like. Spoon the mixture onto a small plate. Taste before adding salt, since tulum cheese can already be quite salty.
What ingredients go in Tulum cheese meze?
Crumbled tulum cheese is the defining ingredient; olive oil, walnuts, fresh herbs, and chili flakes are common additions. Some versions include yogurt for a softer texture. The exact ingredients depend on the recipe rather than a single traditional formula.
How is Tulum cheese meze served?
Tulum cheese meze is usually served chilled or at room temperature as part of a selection of Turkish appetizers. Pair it with toasted bread, pide, or raw vegetables, and add a little olive oil on top just before serving.
Which type of tulum cheese works best in Tulum cheese meze?
Several kinds of tulum cheese work, including varieties made from sheep’s, goat’s, or cow’s milk. Choose one whose flavor you enjoy, and adjust the added salt and seasonings after tasting, since saltiness and sharpness vary between cheeses.
Is Tulum cheese meze spicy?
No, Tulum cheese meze is not necessarily spicy; chili flakes or other hot seasonings make it so. Leave them out for a mild version, or serve them separately so guests can season their own portions.
Can you make Tulum cheese meze ahead of time?
Yes, you can mix the cheese and seasonings ahead and keep the mixture covered in the refrigerator. For a fresher taste and appearance, add delicate herbs and the finishing drizzle of olive oil shortly before serving.
How long does Tulum cheese meze last in the fridge?
Keep Tulum cheese meze covered and refrigerated, and avoid leaving it at room temperature for an extended period. Versions containing fresh herbs or yogurt are best eaten promptly; discard it if its smell, appearance, or texture has changed.
What can you serve with Tulum cheese meze?
Serve Tulum cheese meze with toasted bread, pide, crackers, or crisp vegetables such as cucumber and bell pepper. It also fits a Turkish meze spread alongside olives and fresh salads; choose milder sides to balance the cheese’s savory, salty flavor.
Can you freeze Tulum cheese meze?
Freezing is not recommended for Tulum cheese meze, especially if it contains yogurt or fresh herbs. Thawing can make the mixture watery or grainy and dull the herbs’ texture. Prepare a fresh batch instead for the best consistency.

What is Tulum cheese meze?
Tulum cheese meze is a Turkish-style appetiser built around crumbled tulum, a tangy, salty cheese traditionally matured in a skin or container. Recipes vary: the cheese may be mixed with olive oil, herbs, spices or walnuts, so the meze can be simple or richly seasoned.
In Turkey it is served as part of a meze spread, with bread and fresh vegetables, and may also appear at breakfast. For English-speaking diners, it works well as a savoury starter or sharing plate alongside sliced cucumber, tomatoes and warm flatbread. It provides protein and calcium, but is also rich in fat; use a modest portion and add vegetables for a lighter spread.
