Roumy cheese is a traditional Egyptian cheese made primarily from cow’s milk, with some variations incorporating buffalo milk for a creamier texture. It is aged for several months, often developing small holes (similar to Swiss cheese) due to fermentation. As it ages, its flavour deepens, making it a favourite for those who enjoy strong cheeses.

Roumy cheese is often grated over dishes or enjoyed in slices with bread and olives. The ageing process enhances its bold umami taste, giving it a crumbly yet slightly creamy texture. It can be eaten fresh or melted into hot dishes, offering a savoury depth to meals.

This cheese is comparable to Italian Pecorino Romano or Parmesan but with a spicier edge, often containing black peppercorns that add bursts of flavour.

Instructions for Use:

  • Sliced or Cubed: Enjoy in sandwiches, mezze platters, or paired with fresh vegetables and olives.
  • Grated: Perfect for sprinkling over pasta, baked dishes, or salads for a strong, salty kick.
  • Melted: Works well in sauces, savoury pastries, and omelettes.
  • Pairing Suggestions: Complements figs, honey, nuts, tomatoes, and cured meats beautifully.
