This Muratbey Classic White Cheese is packed as three large slices in a 600 g tub with a clear lid and a green base, a size meant for families and for tables where white cheese is eaten every day. Beyaz peynir is the backbone of the Turkish breakfast, and the slab format makes it easy to cut exactly as much as you need. Muratbey is a dairy company based in Uşak, Türkiye, and states that its products are made in facilities certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 22000.
Cut a slice into thick cubes for a shepherd's salad, thinner pieces for a breakfast spread with tomatoes, olives, cucumber and honey, or crumble it into börek, gözleme and savoury muffins. It can also be grated or crumbled over roasted vegetables and baked into pide. Because the cheese comes as three separate slices, you can take out just the piece you need and leave the rest in the tub.
The producer recommends keeping cheese in the refrigerator at +2 to +4 °C, away from light and in its own packaging until you are ready to eat it. After opening, keep the remaining cheese in a closed container or well wrapped, as the producer advises, so it keeps its moisture and flavour. A short soak in cold water mellows the salt if needed.
