Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Tulum Cheese

  • Metabolic Impact: Tulum cheese is a high-protein food that supports muscle maintenance and recovery throughout the day. The bioactive peptides formed during its aging process may also have a beneficial effect on gut health.
  • Serving Suggestion: You can enjoy it at breakfast alongside walnuts and fresh tomatoes, or use it as a filling in traditional Turkish pastries such as börek and gözleme. Crumbling it over salads is another great way to boost both flavor and protein intake.
  • Points to Consider: Tulum cheese is notably high in sodium, so individuals monitoring blood pressure or kidney function should keep their daily intake to around 30 grams. Soaking slices in water for a few minutes before eating can help reduce the salt content to some extent.
  • Exercise Equivalent: Burning off the calories in a single slice of tulum cheese (30g, 98 kcal) requires approximately 25 minutes of brisk walking. A larger 60-gram serving extends that to roughly 50 minutes of the same activity.
