Mish
Mish (Egyptian Arabic: مش meš [meʃ]) is a traditional Egyptian cheese that is made by fermenting salty cheese for several months or years.
Mish may be similar to cheese that has been found in the tomb of the First Dynasty Pharaoh Hor-Aha at Saqqara, from 3200 BC.
It is generally prepared at home, although some is sold in local markets.
When ripe it is a yellowish-brown color, and tastes sharp, salty and pungent.
Products similar to Mish are made commercially from different types of Egyptian cheese such as Domiati or Ras, with different ages.
