Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality Udma Cheese Museum & Restaurant is a unique establishment located in Gaziantep’s oldest double bathhouse.
The name of our museum, Udma Cheese Museum & Restaurant, derives from the term ‘Udma’ which is mentioned in Kaşgarlı Mahmud’s Divanu Lügat-it Türk. Instead of saying ‘fermenting milk’, Kaşgarlı Mahmud used the term Udhıtma-Udma, meaning ‘putting milk to rest’. The name of our museum & restaurant carries profound meaning, as it is a thousand year old Turkish word.
Kaşgarlı Mahmud lived during the Karakhanid Dynasty, where Turkish was the official language. In 1074-1075, he wrote Divanu Lügat-it Türk to prove the superiority of Turkish over Arabic, assigning significance to each word in his dictionary.
