Frequently Asked Questions About Yozgat cheese
What is Yozgat cheese?
Yozgat cheese is a traditional salty white cheese associated with the Yozgat region of Türkiye. It is typically semi-hard, though its exact texture and taste can vary between producers and batches.
How is Yozgat cheese made?
Yozgat cheese is made by curdling milk, draining the whey, and salting and maturing the curds. Production can vary by maker, so there is not necessarily one standardized recipe shared by every producer.
Is Yozgat cheese the same as feta?
No, Yozgat cheese and feta are distinct cheeses, although both are salty white cheeses. Their production traditions, texture, and flavor can differ, and Yozgat cheese is associated specifically with the Yozgat region.
What kind of milk is used to make Yozgat cheese?
Yozgat cheese may be made with different kinds of milk, so its regional name alone does not establish whether it contains cow, sheep, or goat milk. The producer’s product information gives the answer for a particular cheese.
How do you eat Yozgat cheese?
Yozgat cheese can be sliced and served at breakfast or alongside bread, tomatoes, olives, and other accompaniments. Because it is salty, it also works well crumbled into dishes where its seasoning can flavor the rest of the meal.
Can you use Yozgat cheese instead of feta?
Yes, Yozgat cheese can replace feta in many salads, pastries, and cooked dishes, but the result may taste different. Taste it before adding extra salt, since Yozgat cheese is already salty.
Can Yozgat cheese be used in börek?
Yes, Yozgat cheese makes a flavorful filling for börek, the savory pastry common in Turkish cooking. Crumble it into the filling and adjust added salt to account for the cheese’s saltiness.
How do you reduce the saltiness of Yozgat cheese?
To make Yozgat cheese less salty, soak a portion in cold water briefly, then taste it and change the water if needed. A long soak can also weaken its flavor and affect its texture.
How should you store Yozgat cheese after opening?
Keep Yozgat cheese refrigerated in a sealed container. If it came packed in brine, store it in that brine to help prevent it from drying out, and avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods.
Can you freeze Yozgat cheese?
Yes, Yozgat cheese can be frozen, but thawing may make its texture drier or more crumbly. Use thawed cheese in cooked dishes such as börek rather than relying on it for neat slices.

What is Yozgat cheese?
Yozgat cheese is a traditional, salty white cheese from the Yozgat region of central Turkey. It has a semi-hard texture: firm enough to slice, yet soft enough to crumble, with a distinctly savoury, salty flavour.
In Turkey, it is commonly enjoyed at breakfast alongside bread, tomatoes, cucumbers and olives, and it also works well in sandwiches or folded into pastries. Elsewhere, you can serve it as part of a cheese board or crumble it over a salad for a taste of regional Turkish cooking. It provides protein, though it is also relatively rich in fat and salt. Pair it with fresh vegetables, or use a modest portion when you want a lighter meal.
