Roumy Cheese

Roumy (also known as gebna romi or gebna turki or Romy or Rumi) is an Egyptian cheese made from whole cream cow's milk or a mixture of cow and buffalo milk. It is a hard cheese derived from the Greek kefalotyri cheese. The cheese is believed to belong to the same family as Pecorino Romano and Manchego. It has a slightly strong, salty, sharp, pungent flavor with peppercorns added to enhance the taste.
