Mish is a sharp, salty cheese from Egypt. It begins as a fresh curd cheese that is packed into a brine of salted milk or buttermilk with spices and left to ferment. The ripe cheese turns yellowish brown and tastes pungent, with a heat from pepper and a strong salty edge. Rural households have long used it as a staple with bread, and many people also serve a little of it as an appetizer. It is an aged pickled cheese, not a fresh white cheese.
