About Akkawi cheese
Akkawi cheese is a soft, mild, and creamy white cheese originating from the Middle East, particularly popular in Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine. Made primarily from cow, goat, or sheep milk, it has a slightly salty flavor and is traditionally stored in brine to maintain its texture and freshness. Akkawi cheese is high in protein and calcium, making it beneficial for bone health and muscle function. However, its sodium content can be high due to the brining process, so moderation is recommended for those monitoring salt intake. It is a versatile ingredient commonly used in pastries, desserts like kanafeh, or eaten fresh with bread and fruit. Its smooth texture also makes it an ideal choice for melting. Akkawi is prized for its ability to complement both sweet and savory dishes, adding richness without overpowering flavors.
