Jameed (Arabic: جميد literally hardened) is an Arab food consisting of hard dry laban made from ewe or goat’s milk. Milk is kept in a fine woven cheesecloth to make a thick yogurt. Salt is added daily to thicken the yogurt even more and the outside of the yogurt-filled cheesecloth is rinsed with water to allow any remaining whey to seep through. After a few days of salting the yogurt it becomes very dense and it can be removed from the cheesecloth and shaped into round balls.
