What it is for

They bring creaminess, coolness and protein. Casein carries both fat and aroma, and it is also what binds heat and harshness — which is why yoghurt tames chilli and milk softens the tannin in tea.

Where it catches you out

Heat and acid together are the enemy. Casein collapses at pH 4.6 and whey protein denatures at 72 °C: never bring yoghurt near a boil, and shield milk with starch before it meets acid.

The knack

Record aged and fresh kaşar separately; this profile uses unaged fresh kaşar data.

Storage and health

How to keep it, and who it suits.

Keeping it

Wrap in paper and refrigerate in a sealed container for 3-4 weeks; if sliced, keep 1-2 weeks.

Gluten-free

Plain kasar cheese is naturally gluten-free.
