Çaram

Çaram is a Turkish word that can refer to several things, depending on the context. Primarily, it is used to describe a type of cheese. This çaram cheese is traditionally made from sheep's milk and is known for its salty and somewhat crumbly texture. It is a common ingredient in Turkish cuisine, often eaten for breakfast or used in various dishes.

Beyond its culinary use, çaram can also refer to a specific variety of apricot. These apricots are typically smaller and more intensely flavored than common varieties, with a sweet and slightly tart taste. They are a seasonal fruit, enjoyed fresh during their harvest period and sometimes preserved.

In a less common usage, the word çaram might be encountered in specific regional dialects or as a surname. However, its most prevalent meanings are related to the aforementioned cheese and apricot. The pronunciation of çaram involves a soft 'c' sound similar to the 'j' in 'jeans', followed by a long 'a' sound, and a final 'm'. Understanding the context in which the word is used is key to accurately interpreting its meaning.
