Domiati

Domiati is a soft, white cheese originating from Egypt, traditionally made from buffalo milk, although cow's milk or a combination of the two may also be used. It is characterized by its salty and creamy texture and is typically pickled in brine for preservation. Domiati is considered one of the oldest and most popular types of cheese in Egypt and is often consumed as part of breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The cheese is made by adding salt to the milk before the rennet is added. The high salt content contributes significantly to its distinctive flavor and texture, as well as aiding in its preservation. Different variations exist depending on the region and the specific production method.
