Beyaz Peynir, or “White Cheese”, is one of the most popular cheeses in Turkey and an inextricable part of daily life. With a taste and texture similar to Feta, Tahsildaroglu Full Fat White Cheese is made exclusively from the milk of cows grazing in the region of Ezine, renowned for its terrain and climate. To give our cheese its classic medium-density crumbly texture, sour tang and salty finish, we age and marinate our cheese in brine, using a recipe passed down across generations. Traditionally served at breakfast with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and olive oil, Tahsildaroglu Full Fat White Cheese is also a classic filling for Turkish savory and sweet phyllo-filled pastries. Our cheese is “must” for Shepherd’s Salad, the Turkish equivalent to a Greek Salad.

Or use our cheese to impart tangy bold flavor to omelets, flatbreads, dips and spreads. Tahsildaroglu Full Fat White Cheese is rich in probiotics, calcium and protein, and low in fat.
