Kolot is known <strong>for its stringy texture<\/strong> when heated; it is the key ingredient in the m\u0131hlama (kuymak) recipe and cannot be substituted with any other cheese in this dish. <\/p>\n<h2>What is the wholesale price?<\/h2>\n<p>The price shown on the page is the retail price for a single 500-gram package. Special pricing based on quantity applies for purchases by the case or pallet.

Its distinctive feature <strong>is that it stretches when heated<\/strong> \u2014when melted, it doesn\u2019t run, but forms strands that wrap around a spoon. <\/p>\n<p>This behavior is why this recipe depends entirely on the cheese: if the cheese doesn\u2019t stretch, the recipe won\u2019t work. Refer to the package label for production methods and nutritional information. <\/p>\n<h2>Why is kolot essential for m\u0131hlama (kuymak)?<\/h2>\n<p>M\u0131hlama consists of three ingredients: butter, cornmeal, and <strong>stringy cheese.<\/strong> The dish\u2019s distinctive character comes from the cheese\u2019s stringy texture; if you use Kashar or Cheddar, the cheese melts, and the dish becomes simply \u201ccornmeal with cheese.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For a kitchen that serves m\u0131hlama, kolot is a must-have. <a href=\"https:\/\/santralgida.com\/en\/urun\/butter-kaanlar-1kg\/\">Kaanlar Butter (1 kg<\/a> ) is another key ingredient in the same recipe.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the difference between Kolot and Kashar?<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Criteria<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Kolot<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Kashar<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Behavior at High Temperatures<\/td>\n<td>It stretches and becomes string-like<\/td>\n<td>It stretches, but flows even more<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Salt<\/td>\n<td>Generally slightly salty<\/td>\n<td>Distinctly salty<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The Original Recipe<\/td>\n<td>M\u0131hlama, Kuymak<\/td>\n<td>Toast, pide, b\u00f6rek<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Region<\/td>\n<td>Black Sea<\/td>\n<td>Thrace and the surrounding area<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>For the Kashar cheese section, please see the <a href=\"https:\/\/santralgida.com\/en\/urun\/thracian-full-fat-kashar-cheese-by-kaanlar\/\">Kaanlar Trakya Kashar 1 kg<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<h2>Who is it suitable for?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Restaurants featuring a Black Sea cuisine concept<\/li>\n<li>Breakfast restaurants and buffets<\/li>\n<li>Hotel breakfast areas \u2014 regional dish presentation<\/li>\n<li>Home-cooked meals and neighborhood restaurants<\/li>\n<li>Catering \u2014 Regional Menu Service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Where is it used?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>M\u0131hlama \/ kuymak:<\/strong> primary use<\/li>\n<li><strong>Breakfast plate:<\/strong> served in slices<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oven:<\/strong> for baking pide and b\u00f6rek<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toast:<\/strong> Menus that call for a chewy texture<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why doesn&#8217;t the cheese stretch in m\u0131hlama?<\/h2>\n<p>The three most common causes: <strong>the wrong kind of cheese<\/strong>, <strong>too high a heat<\/strong> <strong>,<\/strong> and <strong>over-stirring.<\/strong> When cooked over high heat, kolot first stretches, then hardens and becomes rubbery.<\/p>\n<p>A practical method: Melt the butter and toast the cornmeal; reduce the heat, add the cheese <strong>, and<\/strong> stir <strong>slowly in one direction<\/strong>. Remove from the heat as soon as the cheese starts to stretch\u2014letting it sit too long will ruin the texture. If the cheese is too salty, soaking the slices in water for a short time will balance the flavor.  <\/p>\n<h2>How should it be stored?<\/h2>\n<p>Store <strong> at +2 \/ +4 \u00b0C<\/strong>. Follow the expiration date on the package. After opening, cover the cut surface; otherwise, the cheese will dry out and lose its stretchiness.  <\/p>\n<p>Dried kolot does not yield the desired texture when cooked\u2014which is why it\u2019s important to use it up quickly once the package is opened.<\/p>\n<h2>Can it be frozen?<\/h2>\n<p>It can be frozen if it is to be used after thawing. After thawing, the texture changes slightly and its elasticity may decrease; for recipes\u2014such as stuffed vegetables\u2014that rely entirely on this property, fresh produce should be used. <\/p>\n<p>Freeze in individual portions and thaw in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<h2>Wholesale orders and cold-chain delivery<\/h2>\n<p>We deliver to Istanbul\u2019s 39 districts 6 days a week, ensuring the cold chain is maintained for next-day delivery.
