Frequently Asked Questions About White cheese (Gazi)

Is Gazi white cheese the same as feta?

No, Gazi white cheese is not the same cheese as feta. Both can be brined and salty, but they differ in how they are made and in taste; Gazi white cheese is a Turkish-style white cheese.

How should you store Gazi white cheese after opening?

Keep Gazi white cheese refrigerated in a covered container. If it came in brine, keep the cheese submerged in that brine; otherwise follow the package directions. Use a clean utensil each time to avoid contaminating it.

Can you freeze Gazi white cheese?

Yes, you can freeze Gazi white cheese, but thawing may make it more crumbly or watery. It usually works better afterward in cooked dishes, such as pastries or baked recipes, than served in neat slices.

Does Gazi white cheese melt?

Gazi white cheese softens when heated but does not melt into the stretchy texture of mozzarella. It can crumble and release moisture, so add it near the end of cooking or use it in dishes where a soft, crumbly texture works.

How do you make Gazi white cheese less salty?

Soak Gazi white cheese briefly in cold water, then taste it; change the water and soak it a little longer if needed. Avoid leaving it submerged for too long, since that can dilute its flavor and soften its texture.

Can you use Gazi white cheese in an omelet?

Yes, Gazi white cheese works well in an omelet. Crumble it into the eggs toward the end of cooking so it softens without disappearing, and taste before adding salt because the cheese may already be salty.

Can Gazi white cheese be used on pizza?

Yes, Gazi white cheese can be used on pizza, especially as a salty, crumbly topping. Drain it first and use it alongside a cheese that melts well if you want the pizza to have a stretchy layer.

Why does Gazi white cheese crumble?

Gazi white cheese can crumble because its curds form a firm, relatively brittle texture, particularly when the cheese is cold or has lost moisture. Letting it sit briefly at room temperature can make it easier to slice, but keep it refrigerated afterward.

Can people with lactose intolerance eat Gazi white cheese?

Not everyone with lactose intolerance tolerates Gazi white cheese; the amount of lactose can vary, and it is still a dairy cheese. Check the product’s nutrition or ingredient information for lactose details, and avoid it if it triggers symptoms.

How can you tell if Gazi white cheese has gone bad?

Discard Gazi white cheese if it develops an unpleasant or unusual smell, a slimy surface, swollen packaging, or visible mold. Because it is a moist, soft cheese, cutting away mold and eating the rest is not considered safe.

What is White cheese (Gazi)?

Gazi White cheese is a packaged Turkish-style white cheese, made by curdling milk and ripening the curds in brine. It is usually soft to semi-firm, so you can slice it for a plate or crumble it over other foods. Its flavour is savoury and gently tangy, with saltiness that varies by product.

In Turkey, it is a familiar breakfast cheese alongside olives, tomatoes, cucumber and bread; it also works well in salads, pastries and sandwiches. For other tables, try it with fresh herbs, roasted vegetables or fruit. It is filling and provides protein and calcium; a 30 g slice offers a convenient portion. If you prefer a milder taste, briefly soak it in water before serving.
