Domiati is a soft white cheese from Egypt, salty, moist, and usually kept in brine. It has no rind, and the paste ranges from creamy to a little crumbly as it sits in that salt. Egyptians eat it as an everyday cheese, at breakfast and in simple cooked dishes. Fresh pieces taste milder, while cheese held longer in brine grows sharper and firmer. The name is the one to seek in Egyptian and Arab grocery shops.
