Description

This 400 g pack of white sheep's cheese comes from Pınar, a long established Turkish dairy brand. Known in Turkey as koyun peyniri, it has a fuller, creamier taste than cow's milk white cheese and makes a good centrepiece for a slow weekend breakfast.

Why it tastes different

Sheep's milk contains more fat and protein than cow's milk, which gives the cheese a denser body and a rounder, slightly buttery flavour. Pınar describes this one as creamy with a full taste. In practice that means it slices cleanly, feels smooth on the tongue and carries its salt well without tasting harsh.

Compared with goat's cheese, sheep's cheese is milder and less tangy. Compared with standard white cheese made from cow's milk, it is richer in mouthfeel and more aromatic. If you like feta but find it too sharp, a Turkish sheep's cheese is often the one you end up preferring.

How to serve it

At breakfast

A Turkish breakfast plate usually starts with a slice of white cheese, and this is the one to reach for when they want something a little special. Put a thick slice next to black and green olives, tomato, cucumber, a boiled egg and warm bread, with honey or jam on the side and a glass of tea.

Cooking

Crumble into scrambled eggs or menemen during the last minute of cooking.
Mix with parsley for a börek or pide filling with more flavour than plain white cheese.
Serve cubes with watermelon in summer, a classic summer pairing in Turkey.
Scatter over a warm bulgur salad with tomato, mint and pomegranate molasses.
Bake on top of stuffed peppers or courgettes for the last ten minutes.

With rakı or wine

White cheese is a fixture of the meze table in Turkey, served with melon, bread and small cold dishes. Sheep's cheese works especially well here, as its creaminess balances strong drinks and salty appetisers.

About the pack

The 400 g size suits a household that eats white cheese several times a week. For the full ingredient list, fat content, salt level and allergen information, read the label on the pack. As with all cheese, it contains milk.

Prices of this kind of cheese are usually a little higher than cow's milk white cheese because sheep give far less milk than cows. Many shoppers keep a block of each in the fridge: an everyday cheese for cooking and a sheep's cheese for the table.

Storage

Keep the pack in the fridge. Once opened, store the remaining sheep's cheese in an airtight container, ideally covered with lightly salted water so it stays moist and does not dry at the edges. Use it within the time given on the label. If the cheese tastes saltier than you like, soak slices in cold water for half an hour before serving.

Avoid freezing it. White cheese loses its smooth texture in the freezer and turns crumbly once thawed, which is fine for a börek filling but a shame for a cheese you bought to enjoy in slices.
