Shanklish (Arabic: شنكليش shanklīsh or شنغليش shanghlīsh) also known as shinklish shankleesh sorke or sürke is a type of cow’s milk or sheep milk cheese in Levantine cuisine. It is typically formed into balls of approximately 6 cm diameter which are often covered in za’atar and Aleppo pepper and then aged and dried. The most common spice is thyme thus giving the cheese its appearance somewhat resembling a dirty tennis ball.
