Meira Cheese

About Meira Cheese

Meira is a semi-hard cheese made from sheep's milk in Iraq. It has a firm texture that's slightly crumbly, making it easy to slice or crumble over dishes. The flavor is mildly tangy with a rich, creamy taste typical of sheep's milk cheeses. Meira can be enjoyed on its own or paired with fruits and nuts for a simple snack. It's also a great addition to salads or melted over warm dishes. Known locally as Mira, it is a traditional cheese that reflects the rich culinary heritage of the region.
