Baladi cheese (Arabic: جبنة بلدية or جبنة بلدي, jibnah baladī) is a soft, white cheese originating in the Middle East.[1] It has a mild yet rich flavor.[2]
About
Baladi has the same size and shape of Syrian cheese with markings from the draining basket or hoop which leaves a design pattern on its outer surface. It is slightly higher in fat than Syrian and its texture is softer, creamier and less chewy.[3]
Name
Baladi means local cheese made from a flock of baladi goats.[1] Its meaning also indicate "village" or "country" cheese.[3] It is also called the 'cheese of the mountains' since it is made in the high mountains by the local shepherds in Lebanon.[1]
Ingredients
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 limit the shelf life to 3 days.[1]
