We visited Aladdin Market on Main Street in Laurel, MD today, and we tried what they called Roomy Cheese. Roumy (also known as Romy or Romi or Turkish cheese) is made from cow’s and water buffalo milk.
It’s an Egyptian cheese in the Parmesan family. The cheese we bought was salty, with complex flavor. It seems to be slightly aged, but still soft and crumbly.
Roumy was yummy.
One site said Roumy cheese is sold in some markets un-aged in slices and ready-to-use packages. It is a staple in Egyptian breakfast.
Aladdin Market let us try it before buying, and they also said it sometimes comes with black pepper.
We also visited the Prince George’s County Memorial Library Laurel Branch so I could renew my Library cart. Pretty place, and only 6 years old.
