Basket cheese is a white, soft cheese that gets its name from being formed in a basket. Traditionally, it is cicular in shape and weighs between twelve and eighteen ounces. Due to the distinctive appearance, it is easily recognized. This salty cheese is among the top three Middle Eastern cheese products sold today in the United States and has a refrigeration life of about six months. It is made from cow's milk and can be found as two types, "fresh" or dry. The "fresh" basket cheese has no salt taste, while the "dry" variety has a mild salt taste to it.
