Baladi cheese

Baladi cheese (Arabic: جبنة بلدية or جبنة بلدي, jibnah baladī) is a soft, white cheese originating in the Middle East.

[2] Baladi has the same size and shape as Syrian cheese with markings from the draining basket or hoop which leave a design patterned on its outer surface.

It is slightly higher in fat than Syrian and its texture is softer, creamier and less chewy.

[1] Baladi is a fresh, traditionally unpasteurized, and uncultured cheese made with a mixture of goat, cow and sheep's milk.

The diverse microflora, high moisture, uncultured, and unpasteurized nature tends to limit the shelf life to 3 days.
