Tekirdağ Cheese Halva
The main ingredient of the dessert, which received the geographical indication registration certificate by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office, is local unsalted fresh cheese. The main differences that changed the name of the dessert, which is generally known as Höşmerim in various parts of Anatolia to Cheese Halva, which is unique to Tekirdağ, is the use of flour instead of semolina in its production and the creation of the classic string structure specific to the dessert.
