Ras

description Ras Overview

Ras is a traditional Egyptian hard cheese, also known as Rumi or Roumy in some usage. It is made from cow's milk, or in some production from a mixture of cow's and buffalo's milk, and is formed into wheels before salting and ripening. The cheese is recognized for a sharp, piquant, and salty flavor and a firm but not completely hard texture, and it is produced in both rural artisan settings and small factories.
