Cheese

Hi all,

Stupid question maybe! But is it possible to get Parmesan cheese in Akbuk/ Altinkum? Also fresh basil?

Cheers

Re: Cheese

I bought a big wedge of Parmesan from Migros last month and it is expensive but goes a long way and tastes so good. I took would like to know where to get the large leafed basil like you can buy back in the uk not the minature basil plants you get here.

Re: Cheese

Hi, Tansas have Eski peynir at about 10TL a kilo and its great for spag bol or pasta dishes, basil can be bought of the Friday market and grown on your terrace.

Is Eski peynir the same as or similar to Parmesan, Tanas isn't to far from me, also I gather that there is a garden center in Akbuk, do they sell basil plants?

Re: Cheese

Its not quite the same but as NwClio says it great for grateing on Spag bog.!!!It does have quite a strong taste unlike some of the other cheeses here.Just ask to try them at both the supermarkets and Akbuk market.

I would imagine the garden centre has basil plants but they would be cheaper on the market.all sorts of herbs,plants can be bought there.!!!

Re: Cheese

The large leafed basil is called reyhan.
The smaller one is usually used for warding off mosquitoes and is a little too bitter for cooking.

Re: Cheese

Thank you Rainbow, i will write that down. I can't think of better ingredients for my basket than some fresh basil, crusty bread, olive oil, garlic, tomatoes and a big hunk of parmesan. Nom nom!

Re: Cheese

I have used Eski peynir in cooking and its fine, if it sits in the fridge and dries it its as hard as nails like a good parmesan is. Ideal for grating!
Also the small leaved basil can be bought for as little as 50 krs per plant at the Friday market in Akbuk and is sweet and fine in cooking, nice in a thai green sauce!

OMG, I'm drooling at the thought, I would add some olives and a very nice full bodied red wine, lol
