Suntat Skim-milk cheese (Çökelek)

Traditional Turkish çökelek, dry-curd cheese, 350g. Sharp and grainy.

Çökelek is the traditional Turkish dry-curd cheese: made from strained yoghurt, dried, sometimes salted, sometimes mixed with herbs. Sharp, tangy, grainy, and completely unlike anything on a British supermarket shelf. Uses: stirred into scrambled eggs, spread on warm bread with olive oil, folded into börek filling, or served as a breakfast option for a household that likes bolder flavours. Not for a supermarket palate, worth it if you grew up with it.
