Tangala Cheeses: A Passionate Flavor Adventure

Launched in 2015 by Buket Ulukut as a rural development initiative, Tangala Cheeses is much more than a cheese brand. We are an artisanal flavor story rooted in the rich soil of Anatolia and inspired by the ancient cheese traditions of Europe, the Caucasus and the Middle East. Our aim is to preserve the vanishing local cheesemaking heritage while combining it with a universal palate to offer an unforgettable experience with every slice. This journey is the story of how milk, nourished by the fertility of the soil, is transformed into unique cheeses with mastery and passion.

The Perfect Harmony of Tradition and Innovation

We see production as an art and blend traditional recipes with the most modern technological means. Inspired by production models developed in Europe in the 1960s that combine cheese culture with science, we put each of our products through a rigorous research and development process. Our cheeses, which we produce from local milk using completely natural methods without any additives, carry both cultural richness and high nutritional value. Thanks to this innovative approach, we create unique tastes by combining the authentic flavor of tradition with the expectations of the modern world.

A Rich Range of Flavors that Leave a Mark on the Palate

The world of Tangala offers a wide range of products, from traditional breakfast flavors to sophisticated gourmet delicacies. Hard cheeses such as Pelit and Tlos, which we patiently mature in our special cellars, white moldy delicacies such as Amber and Mera, which gain elegance with P. Candidium culture, and blue moldy gourmet cheeses such as Tangazola and Kastabara, which come to life with a touch of P. Roqueforti, are just a few examples of this richness. We also offer lactose-free and probiotic fermented varieties that are easy to digest, healthy and without compromising on flavor, not forgetting lactose intolerant cheese lovers.

More than a Flavor: A Mission Dedicated to Rural Development

Tangala Cheeses is not only a food brand, but also a rural responsibility project. We aim for a sustainable future by supporting the local and small farmer model against industrial production. With every cheese we produce, we aim to contribute to local food policies and inspire and motivate young farmers. Each slice of Tangala that reaches your table is not only a unique flavor, but also reflects the spirit of a hopeful initiative that carries the legacy of the past into the future and adds value to the local economy.
