Braided Cheese

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.

Ingredients:

  • Pasteurized cow’s milk

  • Salt

  • Cheese cultures

  • Rennet (enzyme)

Taste & Texture:

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.

Health Benefits:

  • Good source of protein – supports body function and satiety

  • Calcium-rich – promotes healthy bones and teeth

  • Naturally fermented – easier to digest for some individuals

  • Low in carbs – fits low-carb and Mediterranean diets

  • No artificial preservatives
