Nguri is a buffalo milk cheese from China, known in Fujian province. Makers curdle the milk, shape it into small balls, and salt them in brine. The texture is soft and a little leathery, not stretched like a fresh mozzarella. The flavor is very salty, so people use a small bite as a condiment with rice. It is also called Giam-ngu-ring, a name that means salty milk.
