I know lots of people in Turkey yearn for chaddar so I imagine there is nothing close to it over there but has anybody discovered any close matches between well know British cheeses and easily available Turkish ones?
Many Thanks

The nearest equivalent to cheddar that I found was called ESKI KASAR -mature kasar.Tastes like a cross between parmesan and cheddar.  Is a hard cheese good for grating or eating in thin slices. Is nothing like normal KASAR cheese which is round, soft and rubbery - but very good for pizza.  You can buy from cheese counter at Migros.  Migros used to sell a locally made cheese called cheddar by a company called PINAR - this tasted like the cheap rubbery 'bargains' we get in UK.i.e. soapy....

 :)Funny is'nt it, when we are there we want cheddar, and when we're here we want feta, tried a smart price salad cheese from the Asda this week and its like feta, at only 78pence a pkt it quite nice. ;)

If you go to the Tuesday or Sunday market you will find cheese stalls there,ask to taste a cheese called Tulum there are several differnt varieties,some a bit salty,some mild and creamy and some more mature, but if you choose carefully you can find a good cheddar substitute.Also there is a crumbly Tulum,useful for cooking.Hope this helps.Happy tasting  :)

Test one called Izmir Bergamma it does vary in taste,sometimes quite salty,try some from each block.But the best can taste very similar to Cheddar.Most of the market stalls refer to it as Cheddar

Many thanks for all your replies we'll certainly do the taste test, it might save us bringing over lumps of cheddar in our bags!!
