Rumi cheese (Egyptian Arabic: جبنه رومى gebna Rumi [ˈɡebnæ ˈruːmi], also spelled roumi/roomi) is one of the main types of cheese in Egypt.

[7] After 3–4 months the cheese develops an open texture and a sharp, pungent flavor.

[8] Rumi is available in 10 kilograms (22 lb) disks or as slices with variable weight in vacuum packing.

[9] The addition of low levels of PGE or lipases from R. miehei or R. pusillus has been reported to improve the flavor of [clarification needed] Domiati cheeses.

The fat content was lower than natural cheese, and the flavor was affected slightly, but the result was said to have "satisfactory sensory properties".
