Rumi cheese
Rumi cheese (Egyptian Arabic: جبنه رومى gebna Rumi [ɡebna rumi], also spelled roumi/roomi or called Egyptian Arabic: جبنه صفرا gebna safra English: Yellow Cheese) is one of the main types of cheese in Egypt. Despite its name (Rūmī, literally, Roman), the cheese is Egyptian. Traces of it go back to the ancient Egyptians. It has a pungent smell, and different degrees of saltiness depending on the age.
