Braided Cheese, or Jibneh Majdouleh (جبنة مجدلة), is a traditional Middle Eastern cheese known for its distinctive hand-braided shape and mildly salty flavor. At Al-Wady, we preserve the art of this cheese-making tradition by producing beautifully twisted strands of cheese using premium pasteurized cow’s milk and time-honored techniques.

Braided cheese has a smooth, elastic texture and a mildly salty, fresh dairy flavor. Its signature braid not only adds visual appeal but also allows for easy portioning. Enjoy it fresh as-is, with olives and tomatoes, or serve it warm for a soft, melty texture.
