Warankasi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Warankasi is a Yoruba local cheese in Nigeria. It is a soft white cheese made from cows milk.[1][2] It can also be called awara, or wara which is milk in Yoruba. It is similar to beske, except beske is made with soy milk curds and is a Yoruba tofu. Warankasi can also be used to refer to other types of foreign cheeses as a general name for cheese. Local warankasi is commonly sold as street food.[3]
