What is Yozgat bezi cheese?
Yozgat bezi cheese is a traditional white cheese from Yozgat, in central Turkey. Its curds are drained and matured in cloth, then served in slices. The cloth-maturing method gives it a distinctive local character and a texture that holds together on the plate.
In Turkey, it commonly appears at breakfast with bread, tomatoes, cucumbers and olives, alongside tea; it also works in a simple sandwich or as part of a shared spread. Its savoury, tangy flavour pairs well with fresh vegetables and bread. It provides protein and is fairly rich in fat, so a modest slice with plenty of vegetables makes a balanced addition to a meal.
