About

Tahsildaroğlu's delicious journey began about 50 years ago with their family's wholesale cheese business. Struggling to find cheese of desired quality, they established their own production facilities in Çanakkale, Ezine Bayramiç, using inherited recipes. They carefully collect milk from cows, sheep, and goats grazing in Güney Marmara, Ezine, Bayramiç, and the foothills of Kaz Dağları, using only natural yeast and salt. Their cheeses, like Gurme Ezine Peyniri and Eski Kaşar, are aged for months to develop their distinctive flavors.

Heritage & Philosophy

Tahsildaroğlu is a family business that started with cheese wholesaling and evolved into production, upholding the principle of traditional manufacturing for healthy future generations. They are committed to a journey of quality, hygiene, and health from milk to cheese.

What we love

  • Traditional, family-inherited recipes
  • Long aging periods for rich flavor
  • Use of local, naturally fed animal milk (Kaz Dağları)
  • Focus on natural ingredients (natural yeast, salt)
