What is Tulum Cheese with Thyme?
Tulum Cheese with Thyme is an aged Turkish cheese, commonly made from sheep’s milk or a sheep-and-goat milk blend. Its name comes from tulum, the traditional skin container in which some varieties mature, though the texture and saltiness vary by region and producer. Thyme adds an earthy, herbal aroma to the cheese’s already bold, savoury flavour.
In Turkey, it is often served in small pieces at breakfast with tomatoes, olives and bread, or offered as part of a meze spread. Its crumbly texture also works well scattered over salads or folded into savoury pastries. It provides protein but is also rich in fat, so pair a modest portion with fresh vegetables if you want a lighter meal.
