Lor cheese is a type of fresh cheese that is used in borek or pogaca recipes. It’s also possible to serve it in breakfast, especially with jams.
Even if it resembles to ekşimik, it’s far different from it. The taste of ekşimik is a little bit sour. You can understand it from its name; ekşi means sour in Turkish and we can say that ekşimik means soured. On the other hand lor cheese has a more neutral taste, it smells milky.
I use fresh milk to make lor cheese but if you have you can use raw or pasteurised milk. If you use raw milk, you need to boil it for 3-5 minutes before adding the lemon juice.
