How to make Domiati - Easy Egyptian Cheese
Рет қаралды 13,554
9 ай бұрынDomiati is typically made from buffalo milk, cow milk, or a mixture, it can also be made from other milk, such as sheep, goat or camel milk. It is the most common Egyptian cheese. Unlike feta and other white cheeses, salt is added directly to the milk, before rennet is added. It is named after the seaport city of Damietta.

A serving suggestion is to have it as part of an Egyptian breakfast, with fool medammes, eggs, cheese, cucumber and tomatoes. It's lovely. Edit: typo, because 🙈

Great video! I’d be very interested to see more Egyptian cheeses and how they’re made, as some of them (like Rumi and Mish) have origins that are incredibly ancient. Egypt has some of the earliest records of cheese making in human history, written on tomb walls in the Saqqara necropolis

Hello gavin an Egyptian here 🙋. Thank you for making one of our cheeses you did a wonderful job it looks perfect. I would love to see you make old cheese (gibna adema) wish is a cheese we call it areesh saved in a liquid called mish. It can last for generations and you just add more areesh cheese to the mish when it's finished. My mother have a jar of mish that she inherited from my grandmother about 20 years ago.😂

Ideally, it should age and pickle at room temperature in its own salted whey. Spicy pepper pods (Jalapeno or Serrano or similar peppers would work) are added and left to pickle in the whey/brine. Salted and pickled like this, it should last for a very long time and only get better with time.

Trying it today as my very first cheese with my daughter!! Since we don't have Buffalo milk we are boosting the fat by adding raw (yes raw) heavy cream to the (not-ultra) pasteurized, homogenized whole milk. I've watched this video probably 5 times so I don't screw it up. Thanks so much Gavin for your videos. We all owe you for your contribution to home cheese making.

Mate! This cheese was a stable house hold item in my parents house in cairo. I grewup eating this cheese in sandwiched for school and as Mezza with a cold beer or two a bit older LoL. You should try it with a cold strips of finger size cucumber in a Peta poket. I used to buy it here in Oz from an importer but it dosent come anymore. Now I can make it thanks to you. I may just make it, test and perfect it, then surprise my parents and the family for Christmas when they come over. I can't thank you enough Gavin you are a Legend, a Gentelman and a Scholler.

It's amazing that the milk you're using is from some Hindi-speaking company... it's called "Malaidaar"(Hindi for "creamy") from "Kisaan"("farmer" in that same language). By contrast, we here in India don't even get access to pasteurized unhomogenized milk of any kind! Strange how the ball goes rolling, isn't it?

The sous vide circulators have unfortunately gone up quite a lot in price. They're amazing for precision cooking meats though. Something rarely mentioned is that many instant pot models have a sous vide setting and it's perfect for making yogurt and cheese. Very economical with electricity too.

Sir how does one store cheese if living near the coast where air is humid...homemade cheese which doesn't have preservatives, seems to last less if I keep in refrigerator in home near the sea... otherwise it's completely fine elsewhere. Also can you plz make cheese using just yogurt or lemon juice or vinegar as the culture...where I live rennet n cultures aren't easily available n I use the above as culture. Accordingly, cottage cheese is very easy n common here & recently I came across this cheddar recipe using yogurt, citric acid, baking soda, milk & butter n then using a double boiler...turned out yummy...but would like to try other cheeses too...thk you
