Mashgolah Nabulsi Cheese — Authentic Palestinian Cheese for Kunafa, Knafeh & Kanafa

Mashgolah Nabulsi Cheese is an authentic Palestinian cow cheese made using traditional Nabulsi methods — boiled in brine to preserve purity, taste and texture. Known for its perfect stretch, mild saltiness and soft melt, this cheese is the secret behind every unforgettable Kunafa (also written Knafeh, Kanafa or Konafa). Imported and distributed by WATANY Palestinian Products, it’s now available to chefs, bakeries and home dessert lovers across Canada who want the real Kunafa cheese experience.

The Authentic Taste of Nabulsi Cheese in Canada

In the heart of Palestine, Nabulsi cheese has long been the key ingredient in the world-famous dessert Knafeh Nabulsiyeh — the iconic golden pastry filled with soft, stretchy cheese and soaked in rosewater syrup. Mashgolah Nabulsi Cheese brings this same authentic flavour to Canada, giving you a rich, creamy cheese that melts perfectly under Kunafa dough while keeping its satisfying pull. Whether you run a Middle Eastern sweet shop or love baking traditional desserts at home, this cheese ensures your Kunafa comes out exactly as it should — smooth, stretchy and delicious.

Why It’s Called “Mashgolah”

The name Mashgolah refers to the traditional boiling process that sets this cheese apart. Unlike factory-made or mixed-milk cheeses, Mashgolah Nabulsi Cheese is made entirely from fresh cow milk and gently boiled in brine, locking in freshness while reducing excessive salt. This careful preparation gives it the ideal elasticity for soft Kunafa (Na’ama style) and makes it easier to balance flavour and sweetness during baking. In other parts of Palestine and Jordan, it’s also known as Mashmuluh or Mashgouleh, but the taste and texture remain unmistakably Nabulsi.

Perfect Cheese for Kunafa, Knafeh & Kanafa

When you need cheese that melts just right for dessert, Mashgolah Nabulsi Cheese is unmatched. Its smooth texture, mild flavour and meltability make it ideal for:

• Soft Kunafa Na’ama — smooth, creamy, melt-in-mouth texture
• Knafeh Nabulsi — traditional Nablus-style dessert with perfect stretch
• Cheese-based sweets like Halawet El Jibn or Ma’amoul Jibn
• Grilled mezza dishes or savoury cheese pastries

Compared to Akawi cheese, Mashgolah is less salty, creamier and more consistent, giving your Kunafa the perfect pull and smooth melt that customers love.

Preparing Mashgolah Nabulsi Cheese for Desserts

For best results, soak the cheese in fresh water for 12–24 hours before use, changing the water every 8–12 hours to balance saltiness. After soaking, refrigerate for a few hours to achieve full flavour and smoothness. Many bakers choose to mix it with a touch of unsalted mozzarella or cream cheese for extra creaminess, but even on its own, Mashgolah Nabulsi Cheese delivers the perfect Knafeh cheese texture that stretches beautifully with every bite.

Storage & Handling

Keep the cheese stored in a cool, shaded place below 20°C. After opening, divide into smaller portions and freeze or refrigerate in airtight containers. To maintain the traditional taste and texture, store it in its brine or replace with lightly salted water before freezing.

Health & Quality Benefits
