Camel Fresh Cheese
Camel fresh cheese is a lightly salted new cheese from camel milk—soft, moist, and mild with a clean sweet-saline dairy note. Camel milk rennets slowly, so makers use adapted cultures and rennet for a tender set. Crumble into salads, spread on flatbread with herbs or dates, or eat plain. Use quickly; high moisture means short shelf life even chilled.
