There is a rich cheesemaking history in Turkey, dating back many millennia. And one of the most popular cheeses is Beyaz Peynir or “White Cheese”, the Turkish version of Feta. An inextricable part of Turkish culture and cuisine, Feta consumption usually starts at breakfast. At Tahsildaroglu, we make this special cheese with the milk of herds grazing freely in the Ezine region of the Taz Mountains. Our Goat’s Milk Feta is made with a unique blend of mostly goat's milk with some sheep's milk. We pack the cheese curds in a salt and yeast brine and age the mix for at least 12 months - resulting in a cheese with a crumbly texture and a tangy, slightly salty flavor. Rich in probiotics, calcium and protein, and low in fat, Tahsildaroglu Goat’s Milk Feta is a cheese you can feel great about eating at any time of the day. Use our cheese and a dash of oregano to add bright Mediterranean flavor to your favorite salads, omelets, flatbreads and spreads. The perfect addition to a meze platter, our cheese is also a natural for yufka-filled pastries. ❄PERISHABLE ITEM❄❄ Perishable items must be shipped using FedEx Express shipping only.

Pastırma is a form of Turkish cured meat with exceptional flavor, a delicate texture, and a lingering taste. The predecessor to the Italian pastrami, this delicacy originated before the Byzantine times, in the East of Turkey in the town of Kayseri where it is still produced today. The story of its invention has to do with meat being pressed, bastırmak in Turkish, by the legs of horsemen as they rode with sides of meat hanging from their saddles. Today, shanks of beef are cut from domestically grown beef, and dry cured in the fresh air for a couple days. Next, the meat is covered in a paste called çemen, which is made from garlic, fenugreek seeds, and red peppers, and left to cure for another couple days. Connoisseurs will tell you that if your pastirma is cut with a machine, as opposed to a hand knife, it is inferior. Believe what you will.

Turkish cuisine, like the country of Turkey itself, bridges the Middle East and the Mediterranean, and one of its most representative dishes is a spicy beef sausage called "sucuk".
