About Istanbuli cheese

Istanbuli cheese, originating from Turkish cuisine, is a semi-soft, aged cheese known for its creamy texture and tangy flavor. Typically made from cow's milk, it undergoes a unique brining process that enhances its distinct taste while contributing to its longer shelf life. Rich in protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like B12, Istanbuli cheese supports bone health and muscle function, making it a nutritious addition to meals. However, its high sodium content, stemming from the brining process, means moderation is key for those monitoring their salt intake. A versatile ingredient in Turkish dishes, it can be enjoyed in salads, pastries, or served simply with bread and olives. While indulging in its flavorful profile, pairing it with fresh vegetables or whole grains can balance its nutritional impact for a wholesome dining experience.
