Sütaş Ezine-Style White Cheese – 300 g

Ask a Turkish food lover to name the country's best-known white cheese and Ezine will come up almost every time. This 300g pack from Sütaş is an Ezine cheese style made entirely from cow's milk, with a firm yet creamy texture and the clean, lightly salty flavour that makes it a breakfast favourite from Istanbul to London.

Where the Name Comes From

Ezine is a small town near Çanakkale, in the north-west of Turkey, and its white cheese has been prized for generations. The original is traditionally made from a mix of sheep, goat and cow's milk from local herds and matured in brine for several months. That long rest gives it a dense body and a deeper, more rounded taste than younger white cheeses.

Sütaş makes an Ezine-style white cheese that follows the same idea of slow maturing in brine, using 100% cow's milk instead. The result is slightly milder and very approachable, which makes it a good introduction for anyone new to Turkish dairy as well as an everyday staple for those who grew up with it.

Taste and Texture

Expect a cheese that slices cleanly without crumbling into pieces, with a smooth mouthfeel and a pleasant tang. The salt is noticeable but balanced, and it softens further if you rinse the cheese briefly before serving. Because it is a pure cow's milk cheese, the flavour is gentle and milky rather than sharp or goaty, so it suits children and adults alike. It also holds its shape well when cubed, which makes it easy to portion for lunch boxes, picnics and meze platters without leaving a pile of crumbs behind.

How to Serve Ezine Cheese

At Breakfast

Cut into thick slices and arrange with tomatoes, cucumber, olives, honey and warm bread. A drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of dried oregano or chilli flakes lifts it beautifully. Pair with simit for a classic Istanbul morning, or tuck a slice into a warm pide with a few mint leaves for a quick breakfast on the go.

With Watermelon

On a hot day, nothing beats chunks of chilled watermelon eaten with cubes of white cheese. The sweet, juicy fruit and salty cheese are a famous Turkish summer combination.

In Cooking

Crumble into sigara böreği, gözleme or su böreği fillings with fresh parsley or dill. Toss through salads, fold into scrambled eggs or bake on top of roasted vegetables.

Storage Tips

Keep the cheese refrigerated and, once opened, store any leftovers covered in their brine or in lightly salted water inside an airtight container. This keeps it moist, helps it hold its texture for longer and stops it absorbing other fridge smells. Follow the use-by date and storage guidance printed on the pack. Contains milk.
