About Arab cheese

Arab cheese, or Jibneh Arabieh, is a traditional cheese with roots in the Middle East, commonly enjoyed across Levantine and Arabian cuisines. Made primarily from cow’s or sheep’s milk, it is a white, brined cheese with a semi-firm texture and a mild salty flavor. This cheese is a staple in many dishes, from sandwiches to desserts, and can be eaten fresh or cooked. Nutritionally, Arab cheese is a good source of protein and calcium, which are essential for muscle health and bone strength. However, like many brined cheeses, it can be high in sodium, so moderation is recommended, especially for individuals monitoring their salt intake. It is relatively low in fat compared to some other cheese varieties, making it a versatile option for balanced diets. Popular for its simplicity and adaptability, Arab cheese is a timeless ingredient that continues to complement a wide range of Middle Eastern culinary traditions.
