Turkish cheese encompasses a variety of styles and flavors, reflecting the country’s rich culinary heritage. Popular options include beyaz peynir (white cheese), kasar (aged cheese), and tulum (sheep’s milk cheese), each made from cow, sheep, or goat milk. These cheeses are often minimally processed, preserving a natural taste and texture. Rich in calcium, protein, and essential vitamins such as B12, they support bone health and muscle maintenance. Some types, like fresh beyaz peynir, are lower in fat, while aged varieties like kasar may have higher fat content. Turkish cheese is a staple in traditional cuisine, used in breakfast spreads, börek pastries, and salads. Though delicious and nutrient-rich, certain types can be high in sodium and saturated fats, so moderation is key. Widely appreciated for their versatility, Turkish cheeses are a testament to centuries-old artisan methods and regional flavors.
