Akkawi

Akkawi is a soft, brined cheese made from cow’s, goat’s, or sheep’s milk. It originated from the city of Acre (Akko), and it was also named after the city of its origin. The cheese has a smooth and chewy texture, similar to mozzarella, while its flavor is very mild and slightly salty.


It does not melt well, which is the reason why akkawi is often fried, as it will retain its shape. Akkawi is typically used as a table cheese, when it is often paired with fruits, but it can also be eaten with flatbreads for lunch or dinner.
