Description

Why is Thracian Kashar cheese considered unique?
Thrace is the region in Turkey where Kashar cheese production is concentrated, and “Thrace Kashar” has, over time, become a style designation. It is used not as a regional geographical indication but as a term describing the production tradition.
In terms of culinary use, the expected characteristics are clear: a well-aged Kashar cheese with a balanced salt content that becomes more tender when heated. Refer to the package label for the product’s aging period and nutritional values.
Who is the 1 kg package suitable for?
1 kg is the right size for establishments that slice and grate their own cheese in the kitchen. Since it is purchased in block form, the kitchen has the flexibility to determine the thickness and portion sizes.
- Toast and sandwich spots
- Cafes and breakfast concepts
- Pide, lahmacun, and börek restaurants
- Hotel breakfast and à la carte dining options
- Catering and group meals
For kitchens looking to eliminate the need for manual slicing, Kaanlar Sliced Cheddar (1 kg ) is a more convenient option.
Where is Kashar cheese used?
- Toast and sandwiches: sliced; the most common use of Kashar cheese
- Oven: pide, lahmacun toppings, börek, baked pasta
- Breakfast: plated meal, buffet, omelet
- Hot Dishes: A Blend of Gratin and Cheese Sauce
What is the difference between Kaşar and Cheddar?
Both are aged, meltable cheeses, but they behave differently when heated. Kaşar stretches, while Cheddar melts.
| Criterion | Kashar | Cheddar |
| Flavor | Milky, soft | Sharp, salty |
| Melting | It stretches out, becoming thread-like | Flows, does not stretch |
| What he does best | Toast, pide, börek | Burgers, cheddar sauce |
| Color | Light yellow | Yellow–orange |
For comparison, please see our Kaanlar Cheddar Block 2 Kg page. It is a common practice to blend the two on the toasting line.
Why does Kashar cheese release oil when toasted?
It’s not the cheese —it’s the cooking time. If Kashar cheese is left at a high temperature for a long time, it first releases its fat and then hardens. This becomes noticeable when it’s in the toaster for more than 3–4 minutes.
Tip: Slice the cheese thinly (3–4 mm), center it between the two slices of bread, and set the toaster to medium heat. Cheddar straight from the refrigerator takes longer to melt; taking it out just before serving will shorten the time.
Which Kaan cheeses are best suited for which dishes?
| Product | Form | For whom |
| Thrace Full-Fat Kashar Cheese 1 kg | Block | Cut-to-order in the kitchen |
| Sliced Full-Fat Kashar Cheese, 1 kg | Sliced | High-speed toaster line |
| Light Cheddar, 250 g | Sliced, light | Light menu, portion control |
| Sliced Toast Cheese, 1 kg | Sliced | High-volume toast service |
How should it be stored?
Store in the refrigerator at +2 / +4 °C. Do not leave the cut surface exposed—Cheddar dries out and forms a rind when exposed to air. Cover the cut surface with plastic wrap or a lidded container.
Don’t let the grated cheese sit; grate it just before serving. If left to sit, the grated cheese will dry out and clump together.
Can Kashar cheese be frozen?
Yes, if it’s going to be melted. The texture may crumble when thawed, so Käsar that will be served in slices should not be frozen. Freeze it in individual portions and thaw it in the refrigerator.
