Tulum Cheese
1 year and up
⚡ Quick answer
Because tulum cheese is a very salty cheese, it is not recommended before 12 months, and even afterward it should be given only in very small amounts.
How to serve it by age?
Not recommended because of its high salt content; during this period, unsalted or low-salt fresh cheeses are preferred.
Can be offered occasionally in very small amounts, mashed onto bread or crumbled into food; no other salty food should be given in the same meal.
⚠️ Allergen information
It contains milk protein.
🫁 Choking risk and safe serving
Hard pieces pose a choking risk; serve it crumbled or mashed into food/bread.
📌 Watch out for these
- Its salt content is very high; because the baby's kidneys struggle to excrete excess salt, the amount must be kept small.
- It may be made from raw milk; make sure it is produced from pasteurized milk (risk of Listeria, brucellosis).
- Its sharp, mature taste may not be accepted by every baby; do not force it.
