Erzurum Cecil Cheese – Turkish String Cheese (Çeçil Peyniri) 500 g – WeNatur

Cecil cheese – in Turkish “Erzurum Çeçil Peyniri”, in German “Fadenkäse” – is one of the best-known traditional cheeses of Eastern Anatolia, especially Erzurum. The cheese curd is pulled into long strands and braided, which gives it its typical fibrous structure that pulls apart into strings. It is made from cow's milk, salt and vegetable rennet and comes in a 500 g pack.

The taste is mildly salty, milky and soft. When warmed, the fibrous texture melts and stretches. At breakfast it is pulled into strands and served with nigella seeds on a cheese platter; it is also popular in börek, gözleme and the Black Sea dish kuymak.
