About Domiati cheese

Domiati cheese is a soft, brined cheese associated with Egypt and made from milk, traditionally with salt incorporated before or during curd formation. It is generally white, moist, and smooth to somewhat crumbly, with a salty, tangy dairy flavour.

It is eaten fresh or after ripening and may be made from different milks, including cow’s or buffalo’s milk. The degree of salting and aging varies, so products can differ notably in firmness and intensity.
