For true connoisseurs and lovers of traditional Turkish cheese craftsmanship: the ARAS Organic Deri Tulum Cheese. This is cheese in its most original and aromatic form.

What does “Deri Tulum” mean?

This organic Tulum cheese is a genuine specialty. “Deri” means “skin” or “leather”. Unlike modern Tulum, which matures in tins or plastic, this cheese is filled into a prepared goat or sheep skin bag (“Tulum”) according to centuries-old tradition. In this natural container, the cheese breathes and matures for months. This method is extremely rare today and practiced only by a few masters.

Intense, piquant & unmistakable

Through maturing in the skin, this organic cheese develops an incomparably intense, strong, and piquant aroma, slightly earthy and extremely full-bodied. Its texture is often slightly crumbly. This is a cheese with a powerful character, made for pure enjoyment.

Serving recommendation

Deri Tulum is the star of any meze platter and elevates every Turkish breakfast (Kahvaltı).

• Perfect on fresh, hot flatbread (Pide or Lavaş).
• Brilliant paired with walnuts and a drop of honey for contrast.
• The classic companion to a glass of raki.
