White cloth tulum cheese is a Turkish cheese drained and matured in cloth, with a white appearance and a distinct, often salty flavour. Its texture and sharpness vary with the milk and producer, so it may be crumbly or softer rather than having one standard profile.
No, white cloth tulum cheese is not simply another name for feta. Both can be salty and crumbly, but tulum is matured in cloth, while feta is traditionally brined; their aromas, textures and levels of tanginess can differ.
White cloth tulum cheese is made by setting milk, draining the curds and maturing the cheese in cloth. Milk type, salting and ageing practices vary among producers, which is why two cheeses sold under this name can taste noticeably different.
Keep white cloth tulum cheese refrigerated in a clean, covered container after opening. Protect the cut surface from drying out, use a clean utensil when serving, and follow any package instructions about keeping the cheese in or out of its brine.
White cloth tulum cheese pairs well with bread, olives, tomatoes and fresh herbs. Because its flavour can be quite salty and strong, milder accompaniments such as cucumber or unsalted bread help balance a cheese board or simple breakfast.
Yes, white cloth tulum cheese works well crumbled into pastries, omelettes and savoury fillings. It adds a pronounced salty flavour, so taste the filling before adding extra salt; combining it with a milder cheese can make the result less intense.
White cloth tulum cheese softens when heated, but it may not melt into a smooth, stretchy layer like some melting cheeses. Crumble it over a filling or mix it with a softer cheese for more even coverage in baked dishes.
Yes, you can freeze white cloth tulum cheese, although thawing may make it drier or more crumbly. Pack it tightly in a freezer-safe container and use it in cooked dishes after thawing, where a change in texture matters less.
Discard white cloth tulum cheese if it develops an unusual smell, a slimy surface, unexpected discoloration or visible mould. Its normal aroma can be strong and varies by producer, but suspicious changes are a reason not to taste or serve it.
White cloth tulum cheese is a safer choice during pregnancy when it is made from pasteurized milk and has been refrigerated properly. If the milk’s pasteurization status is unclear, ask your healthcare professional or choose a clearly labeled pasteurized cheese.

White cloth tulum cheese is a Turkish cheese made by fermenting milk and allowing it to mature wrapped in cloth. It is white, salty and pleasantly tangy, with a firm, crumbly texture and a fuller flavour as it ages.
In Turkey, it is often served at breakfast with bread, olives and fresh vegetables, or offered as part of a meze spread. It also works well crumbled over salads or alongside fruit. Naturally rich in protein and calcium, it is also fairly high in fat and salt, so pair it with crisp vegetables or choose a modest portion if you want a lighter plate.
