Jibne baladi ("local cheese") is the plain fresh white cheese of Lebanon, a rennet curd that is drained and shaped in moulds. It is set by enzyme rather than by bacteria and is not ripened, so it sits at the edge of fermentation. The same curd, pressed, becomes Akkawi.
No fixed amounts recordedThe study gives temperatures and times, not amounts per litre; 450 kg of milk in all made 23 kg of Baladi and the other cheeses.
Cow milk
In the study, pasteurised; half of one batch was skimmed and mixed back with full-fat milk, as local dairies do[hassan2021]
What changes:The milk is held hot to pasteurise it, then cooled for renneting

Jibne baladi ("local cheese") is the plain fresh white cheese of Lebanon, a rennet curd that is drained and shaped in moulds. It is set by enzyme rather than by bacteria and is not ripened, so it sits at the edge of fermentation. The same curd, pressed, becomes Akkawi. Made in 4 steps over 55 min. The longest step, heat-treat the milk, takes 30 min (Hassan HF 2021) and runs at 63 °C (Hassan HF 2021).
Baladi is the first stage of a Lebanese chain of cheeses. In the study, the same rennet curd was shaped as Baladi, pressed to give Akkawi, then boiled and brined to give Halloum. Baladi itself is neither pressed, boiled nor ripened. At one Bekaa dairy visited by a cheese magazine, the cheeses were kept in brine for a week before local sale, and those for Beirut were left unsalted.
Baladi is a fresh, unripened cheese. Studies of samples from the Bekaa Valley, collected from August to December 2004, found Listeria monocytogenes in 26.67 % of 45 baladi cheeses and staphylococci in 76 % of them, the highest staphylococcal contamination of the three dairy foods tested. The authors name the milk and manual handling as the main sources of contamination in baladi cheese, and note that cheese has a high moisture content and moderate salt.
Hazards the sources name: Listeria monocytogenes, found in 26.67% of 45 baladi cheese samples from the Bekaa Valley; Staphylococcus aureus; baladi cheese had the highest staphylococcal contamination of three Lebanese dairy foods tested.
