Telemea is a Romanian cheese traditionally made from the milk of which animal?

Telemea is the name of a Romanian cheese traditionally made from sheep's milk. Nowadays, the term encompasses cheese made out of cow's milk, and in some cases of goat's, or buffalo's milk.

Similar to the Greek cheese feta, but also as in the case of Turkish teleme, American teleme cheese, Bulgarian or Macedonian sirene, and Serbian sir, Telemea can have a higher water content, making it a soft or semi-soft white cheese with a creamy texture and a tangy aftertaste.

Alternatively, the cheese is put through an ageing process that makes it crisper, more flavoured and salty. Cumin seeds are occasionally added for a spicy, nutty flavor. It is used as a table cheese for snacks, in salads, and in a variety of dishes (e.g., omelettes, crepes, pies).
