Cheese making Akkar Shanklish

Akkar is in the Northern district of Lebanon. Traditional matured shanklish cheese if their specialty and it is the only matured cheese in Lebanon as the country mostly produces fresh milk cheese and curds.

Thanks for this great video!
When you dry the balls to let them dehydrate (before you cover them with oil and zaatar), do you let them dry in the fridge or simply at room temperature?

[@rindalasemaan]

Hi I would say it depends on the room temperature. if it is summer or if you have heating in winter use the fridge. If the room temperature is cool, you can store it outside. Just like for butter or other foods.

Thank you. What are the orange species in the final balls? What was added?

[@rindalasemaan]

Hello Nathalie, well it is chili powder. You can actually add the herb or spice you like or keep original flavor.
