Băbana

Băbana is a Romanian term with primarily dialectal usage. It refers to a type of traditional Romanian cheese, typically made from sheep's milk. The cheese is generally produced in mountainous regions of Romania, and its characteristics can vary depending on the specific region, the sheep breed, and the cheesemaking techniques employed. Băbana is often described as having a strong, pungent flavor and a firm texture. It is typically aged for a period of time to develop its distinctive taste. The term itself is relatively localized, and it might not be widely recognized throughout Romania. While not mass-produced, it represents a part of Romania's diverse culinary heritage.
