Description

Akkawi cheese is a white brine cheese originating from the Middle East, specifically from the city of Acre (Akka) in modern-day Israel. It’s made primarily from cow’s milk, but can also be made from sheep or goat’s milk. Akkawi cheese is known for its smooth texture and mild, slightly salty flavor, which makes it highly versatile. It’s often used in desserts like kunafa and also served as a table cheese, sliced or cubed, often paired with fruit or used in sandwiches. The cheese’s ability to melt well also makes it popular for baking and cooking.
