Basket Cheese is a salty, soft white cheese shaped from small wicker-textured baskets. This traditional cheese is circular and weighs about 12-18 oz. Basket cheese is among the top three Middle Eastern cheeses sold in the United States. Because of the cheese's distinctive form, it's difficult to mass produce, and the genuine product is easily recognized by basket cheese lovers. Excellent with pita breads and water wheel crackers.

I was a little nervous about getting this cheese from on-line. From what I understand it is supposed to be a seasonal food. When I used it though it was perfect. The flavors and textures were everything they should have been.

I would buy again.

I use this in one of my Italian receipes at Easter time. It's Pizza Chena which is a meat and cheese type turnover. I used to live in Ct. and had no problem getting this at any supper market but I was unable to find it anywhere down south so thats, why I had to order it online and took a chance on it being good. It seems just about the same as what I used to use but it's just not in a basket like I used to get bach in Ct.

Fantastic product. Very pleased.
