Baqariah Nabulsi Cheese — Traditional Palestinian Cow Cheese in Brine

Baqariah Nabulsi Cheese brings the authentic taste of Palestine to Canadian kitchens. Made from 100% fresh cow milk and preserved in brine, this cheese reflects centuries of Palestinian cheese-making tradition. Known for its mild saltiness, firm texture and versatile flavour, it’s the perfect choice for both savoury and sweet recipes — from grilled cheese mezza and sambousek to Kunafa (also spelled Knafeh or Kanafa). Imported by WATANY Palestinian Products, it offers premium quality and consistency at an affordable price point.

Authentic Nabulsi Cheese, Made the Traditional Way

This Nabulsi cheese is prepared using the same artisanal methods passed down through generations. The milk is gently boiled, curdled and stored in saltwater brine — a preservation process that keeps the cheese naturally fresh while enhancing its signature flavour. Unlike mixed or factory cheeses, Baqariah Nabulsi Cheese uses 100% cow milk, producing a milder, creamier taste that complements a wide range of dishes. It’s a kitchen staple for anyone who values authenticity, simplicity and traditional Middle Eastern taste.

Perfect for Sweet & Savoury Dishes

One of the most popular uses of Baqariah Nabulsi Cheese is in Middle Eastern desserts like Kunafa / Knafeh / Kanafa — a soft, stretchy pastry filled with cheese and drizzled in syrup. Its gentle saltiness perfectly balances sweetness, creating a rich and satisfying bite. Beyond desserts, it’s ideal for savoury cooking too, making it one of the most versatile Palestinian cheeses available in Canada.

• Kunafa & Knafeh: Melt-in-mouth texture and mild flavour for traditional Palestinian desserts.
• Grilled or Fried: Crispy outside, creamy inside — perfect as a warm appetizer or breakfast dish.
• Stuffed Pastries: Great for sambousek, fatayer or cheese pies.
• Fresh Enjoyment: Soak, slice and serve with olive oil, za’atar and pita bread.

Simple Preparation for the Perfect Taste

Because Nabulsi cheese is preserved in brine, soaking it before use allows you to control its salt level. For best results, soak in cold water for 12–24 hours, changing the water twice to achieve a balanced flavour. A shorter soak gives a saltier result, while a longer soak makes the cheese mild and perfect for desserts like Kunafa or Halawet el Jibn. Once prepared, refrigerate before using for a smooth texture and optimal taste.

High-Quality, Affordable & Versatile

Baqariah Nabulsi Cheese is ideal for both households and restaurants that want quality without compromise. It offers the same authentic flavour as premium Palestinian cheese at a budget-friendly price, making it perfect for bulk use in bakeries, catering businesses and dessert shops across Canada. Whether you’re preparing a family meal or large-scale orders of Knafeh Nabulsi, this cheese delivers reliable taste and texture every time.

Health Benefits & Natural Goodness

Made entirely from cow milk, this Nabulsi cheese is rich in protein, calcium and natural fats. The traditional boiling and brining method enhances shelf life without artificial preservatives, offering a healthier, natural alternative to processed cheeses. It fits perfectly within a Mediterranean diet, providing a balance of nutrition and authentic flavour. Enjoy it grilled, baked or melted — it’s delicious in every form.

Storage & Handling Tips

Before opening, store the cheese in a cool place below 20°C and away from direct sunlight. After opening, keep it refrigerated in its brine or transfer to a sealed jar with salted water to maintain freshness. For long-term use, divide into smaller portions and freeze. Properly stored, Baqariah Nabulsi Cheese retains its texture, flavour and quality for months.
