What is jibneh arabieh?

Jibneh Arabieh (Arabic for "Arabian cheese") is a popular type of cheese commonly found in the Middle East, particularly in Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. It is a semi-hard cheese, typically made from cow's milk, but can also be made from goat or sheep milk. The cheese has a salty and tangy flavor and a crumbly texture.

Jibneh Arabieh is a versatile cheese that can be used in a variety of dishes, such as sandwiches, salads, pastries, and other baked goods. It is also often served as part of a mezze platter, along with other traditional Middle Eastern appetizers.

The cheese is typically made by heating milk to a high temperature and then adding rennet or other coagulants to separate the curds from the whey. The curds are then drained, salted, and left to mature for several weeks or months, depending on the desired flavor and texture.

Jibneh Arabieh is known by many different names, including nabulsi, akawi, and mish. It is widely available in Middle Eastern grocery stores and markets, as well as online.
