‘Mish’ is a distinctive and robust fermented cheese enjoyed for centuries in Egyptian households. Made from fermented and aged white cheese (often a mix of feta and other soft cheeses), it is spiced with a unique blend of chilli, fenugreek, and cumin, delivering a spicy and tangy kick. This traditional delicacy is aged in a brine solution, allowing the flavours to deepen over time and develop its iconic sharp and complex profile. A versatile ingredient, ‘Mish’ can be served as a flavourful accompaniment to fresh bread, as a dip when softened, or incorporated into recipes for an added punch. Its bold flavour makes it an ideal choice for cheese connoisseurs looking to explore unique, regional cheeses.

Instructions for Use

  1. Serving Suggestion: Enjoy at room temperature with crusty bread, fresh tomatoes, and cucumbers for the authentic Egyptian experience.
  2. Cooking Use: Add crumbled ‘Mish’ to stews, scrambled eggs, or pasta dishes to elevate the flavours.
  3. Adjusting Saltiness: If too salty, rinse lightly under cold water or soak briefly in fresh milk before use.

Information

  • ‘Mish’ is deeply rooted in Egyptian culture, often made at home in clay jars and passed down through generations.
