Nabulsi cheese
Palestinian sheep and goat cheese From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nabulsi (or naboulsi) is a Palestinian white brined cheese made in the Middle East. Its name refers to its place of origin, Nablus,[1] and it is known throughout the West Bank and surrounding regions. Nabulsi, along with Akkawi cheese, is one of the principal cheeses consumed in Jordan.[2] It is produced primarily from sheep's milk; alternatively, goat's milk may be used. Nabulsi cheese is white and rectangular in shape. It is semi-hard with no gas holes.[2] It becomes soft and elastic when heated. It is a typical ewe's or goat's milk cheese, but is traditionally flavored with mahleb (Prunus mahaleb) and mastic (Pistacia lentiscus) added to the boiling brine. It is a major ingredient of the Middle Eastern dessert knafeh.[3]
