Premium Akkawi cheese blended with fresh mozzarella, hand-stretched artisan dough made with high-protein flour, extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, and traditional Lebanese seven spices. Our cheese manakish features the perfect cheese-to-dough ratio for that authentic Lebanese breakfast experience.
Lebanese mountain villages in Mount Lebanon region, particularly Bsharri and Zahle in the Bekaa Valley. These areas have been renowned for centuries for their dairy production, with families perfecting cheese-making techniques passed down through generations. The cool mountain climate creates ideal conditions for producing the premium Akkawi cheese that makes our manakish exceptional.
Manakish has been a cornerstone of Lebanese breakfast culture for over 500 years, originally made in traditional wood-fired ovens in mountain villages. The cheese variation evolved in the early 20th century when Lebanese shepherds and dairy farmers in the Bekaa Valley began experimenting with their abundant cheese production. Today, cheese manakish represents the perfect fusion of ancient bread-making traditions with modern Lebanese tastes, served fresh from the oven in homes and restaurants across Lebanon and the diaspora.
