With a taste and texture similar to Feta, Tahsildaroglu Full Fat White Cheese is made exclusively from the milk of cows grazing in the region of Ezine, renowned for its terrain and climate.

Traditionally served at breakfast with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and olive oil, Tahsildaroglu Full Fat White Cheese is also a classic filling for Turkish savory and sweet phyllo-filled pastries. Our cheese is “must” for Shepherd’s Salad, the Turkish equivalent to a Greek Salad.
