🧀 Keto Hungarian Farmer’s Cheese (Túró): Low-Carb Comfort with Old World Flavor

If you're living the keto lifestyle and craving something creamy, comforting, and full of heritage, let me introduce you to a traditional gem: Hungarian Farmer’s Cheese, or as locals call it, Túró.

Túró is a soft, slightly tangy, cottage cheese-style curd that's naturally low in carbs and high in protein and fat—a dream ingredient for keto eaters. It's incredibly versatile, delicious on its own, or perfect as the star in both savory and sweet keto recipes.

And the best part? It’s super easy to make at home with just two ingredients.

🧑‍🍳 Keto-Friendly Túró (Hungarian Farmer’s Cheese) Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 gallon (3.8 liters) whole milk (preferably grass-fed)

• 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat sour cream or 1/2 cup lemon juice

• Optional: Pink Himalayan salt (to taste)

✅ Keto Tip: Using full-fat sour cream keeps the fat content up and carbs low, making it ideal for keto.

Instructions:

1. Warm the Milk:
   In a large heavy-bottomed pot, slowly heat the milk over medium-low heat to about 110°F (43°C). Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.

2. Curdle It:
   Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream or lemon juice. Let it sit undisturbed at room temperature for 6–12 hours until the curds fully separate from the whey.

3. Strain:
   Line a colander with cheesecloth and pour in the mixture. Let it drain for at least 2 hours (longer for firmer cheese).

4. Season & Store:
   Optional: Add salt to taste. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week.

🍽 Keto Ways to Enjoy Túró

• Sweet Treat: Mix with a bit of vanilla, cinnamon, and your favorite keto sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit). Top with berries or a sprinkle of crushed nuts.

• Savory Snack: Combine with paprika, chopped green onions, and sour cream for a rich spread or dip.

• Power Breakfast: Spread on keto toast, fill into almond flour crepes or enjoy by the spoonful with avocado on the side.
