Gebna Beda
Domiati cheese (), also referred to as "white cheese" (, ), is a soft white salty cheese made primarily in Egypt, but also in Sudan and other Middle Eastern countries. Typically made from domestic buffalo, buffalo milk, cow milk, or a mixture, it can also be made from other milks, 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 (). Production Domiati production involves pasteurizing milk briefly, then salting a portion of it before adding rennet. This method results in a high-moisture, salty cheese, distinct from feta due to its pre-rennet salting. Domiati can be enjoyed fresh or aged in brine for a few months, enhancing its pickled flavor, the cheese gets more acidic as it ages. Usually, no starter culture is added, instead, the bacteria is already present in the milk used will cause the fermentation, the sa ...

Rennet
Rennet () is a complex set of enzymes produced in the stomachs of ruminant mammals. Chymosin, its key component, is a protease, protease enzyme that curdling, curdles the casein in milk. In addition to chymosin, rennet contains other enzymes, such as pepsin and a lipase. Rennet has traditionally been used to separate milk into solid curds and liquid whey, used in the production of cheeses. Rennet from calves has become less common for this use, to the point that less than 5% of cheese in the United States is made using animal rennet today. Most cheese is now made using chymosin derived from bacterial sources. Molecular action of rennet enzymes One of the main actions of rennet is its protease chymosin cleaving the kappa casein chain. Casein is the main protein of Milk#Proteins, milk. Cleavage removes the slightly negatively charged glycomacropeptide (GMP) from the surface of the casein micelle. Because negative charges repel other negative charges, the GMP prevents casein micell ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Like related cheeses, panela cheese is often used as a garnish and as a filling in its crumbled form. It may also be fried, since it holds its shape and does not melt very easily. Although it becomes softer when heated, it generally retains its shape instead of melting into a gooey texture like some other types of cheese. It is used in many Mexican foods, such as enchiladas, tacos, ''nopal'' salads or quesadillas. Regional differences as well as different degrees of maturation yield variation within the panela family.
