Muratbey Örgü Peyniri is a braided cheese, a traditional Turkish cheese that is shaped into plaits, and it comes in a 200 g tray. The manufacturer describes it as a light and healthy take on the traditional braided cheese, for people who enjoy regional cheese styles. Per 100 g it provides 19 g of protein and 883 mg of calcium, and the maker states that it contains no gluten, trans fat or sweeteners. Salt content is 4 g per 100 g.
The manufacturer's serving suggestion depends on your taste. If you like a salty, firm cheese, serve it plain, just as it comes; if you prefer a softer, more elastic and less salty texture, leave it in lukewarm water for a while before serving. Braided cheese is a fixture of the Turkish breakfast with tomatoes, cucumber, olives and fresh bread. Its strands pull apart easily, it works well in sandwiches and savoury pastries such as börek, and it makes a handy snack for children and adults alike.
Keep it refrigerated at 2-4 °C, not at room temperature or in the freezer. After opening, eat it soon and store the remaining cheese in its pack in its own brine.
