BattaBox heads out of Lagos, via car on the back of an okada, to a rural Fulani farm where the local Nigerian cheese is prepared.
The Fulani pastoralist and his family milk the cows and then take the fresh milk to the hut. Men milk the cow and women take it home for production. And if the pasture is green, the cow will produce more milk.
Inside the hut, the milk is then produced in plastic buckets, crushed bom-bom leaves are then rinsed in the milk to give it a flavour. The milk and bom-bom leaf is then boiled, maybe adding a small amount of salt. After 10 minutes, the milk has curdled into Nigerian cheese, drained, and eaten.
"It tastes nice, it doesn't really taste of anything, but it's fresh," says Odunayo as she eats some of the newly cooked Nigerian cheese.
Nigerian soft cheese - or Wara - can be served straight and eaten by itself, or have fried and eat with Amala. It's very nutritious and should ideally be eaten as soon as possible after it's cooked. The soft cheese is similar to Tofu, and called Wara because of the town in Kwara state where it originates from.
Would you like to try and cook Nigerian cheese - Wara! - and eat at home? Gist us in the comments below.

You can tell there was a weird tension between these two women. Once you enter her home don't make her feel uncomfortable. Don't ask what the milk taste like if you're not willing to try it. It was almost as if the reporter was looking down on this woman and you could tell the woman felt that.
Yes the host seemed very judgemental that's why the lady being interviewed wanted nothing to do with her
I noticed this as well.
Odun was pregnant at that time. Pregnant women are not supposed to drink unpasteurized milk.
Yea I noticed she seemed very distant and rigid. Really cold towards the host.
LocsLuv 90 - Why do people confuse the language? Wàrà is milk 🥛 wàràkaṣi is the stretched-curd cheese product in the family of paneer and mozzarella. Africans will soon forget their language trying to be bourgie. And the host is crass by trying to flex showing how wide spread Yorùbá is that the Fulani woman had to learn it but that she (i.e. the host) does not have to learn Fulani. That is not great ethnic/tribal relations. It is supremacy and rude.
Please more native videos Odun you are so mature and respectful. God bless your soul.
Thank you
Wow I miss awara I love eating it, taste so nice, one can use it to cook stew and soup it serves as meat.
Yes it does 😊
The Fulani woman is very pretty. Sometimes on these videos I don't know if the presenters really take into account these villagers are human beings and they may not want to be filmed it may be uncomfortable for them. I can sense this young woman really wasn't feeling the constant questioning.
God bless you. I was getting irritated with the interviewers stupidity and arrogance of being superior. That woman should have told her to leave.
exactly why I came to the comment section...a white man will never do that
We never force our guests to do what’s not comfortable for them.
awesome presentation ! have been searching forever to see someone present how wara is made. thanks for sharing !
Thanks for watching
She is pregnant..... congratulations
Sonia PUNTO E BASTA is it odunayo
Life with Suzanne yes
Sonia PUNTO E BASTA ahahah rido per il tuo nome
My self I noticed that too
Ernest Gbarbea as soon as i saw her face... I knew
More native videos please!
Thank you ooo... We will be working on them soon....
You can add fried Wara in to stew just like meat
You sabi jare! :-)
From what I know, there are variants of Wars based on geographic region. Wars can be made from dairy milk or soybean. It can be soaked with akamu water or millet water. Various condiments can be added, from onions to just salt n pepper. Finally it can be fried or eaten fresh. Therefore Wars can come in different flavors and colors.
Autocorrect is terrible at times. I mean Wara, not Wars!
This is informative, thank you
Lovely. ..It can go with Agege bread .
Well done guys.
Nice to see my Sister Odunayo. 👍
I’ve never had it with bread. What’s the taste like?
This cheese is just delicious. We call it wagashi in Benin Republic. You fried it and you can put it in different kind of stew such as tomatoes or egusi soup. Miam !
Bon appetite 🥂
very interesting video. and i found them to be very briliant for learning and speaking the yoruba dialect in such few years. wow. absolutely awesome. we are one nigerian. and all we need is love for one and the other. simply beautiful culture. awsome
It’s called immersion - anyone can learn a language when immersed. It’s survival.
Thank you
Omg Odun is backkkkk >
😂
I love wara 😍😍😍
Can we call it a love language? 🫣
I didn't even have to think much before saying 'wara' when I read the title despite the fact that I haven't eaten it in YEARS and I also don't remember even ever being actually told that it's cheese lol. When you know you just know, home sweet home❤🥺
Proudly Nigerian 🇳🇬
More native videos please 💖

If it doesn’t have taste you can zhoosh it up.
First you place weights on top of it to press out as much whey (i.e. ọmọ-wàrà). Then it will be like a block that you can cut into pieces. Make a wet batter of flour, seasonings of choice, egg and some starch. Dip the cube wàràkaṣi inside then fry until golden brown. You’ll thank me later.
We would consider this
I do this at home with fresh whole milk and add white vinegar instead of the leaves used in the video.
Does it taste the same?
I wanna no too
Alhamdulillah Robil Alamin cos my sis is pregnant oooo😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗
It is also known as cottage cheese, the milk expressed from the cow, has to be pasteurized or homogenized before consumption as the uncooked one contains microorganisms that may be harmful to the health.
CabinDoor why is that?
Stop being rude she made a valid point because unpasteurized milk can make one very sick if you are not used to it. Plus the presenter is pregnant so drinking it is a BIG NO.
My dear ignore the rude comments from Cabin Door, some folks go on CZcams videos to bully with troll comments.
After she boil the milk , it's considered pasteurized.
+CabinDoor toolish? lol... never knew you could be this sincere about yourself
.. weldone... but to work on yourself you must stop being daft, pretentious and oh! bitter...
Wara with egusi o my God very good
What is the taste like?
Would you try Nigerian cheese?? 🧀🧀🧀

Yes she is
awesome can be dressed with tomatoes Salat ..
Amazing
IS THIS THE BEST NIJERIA AN SHOW...
Kindly rephrase your question
Odunayo, Please don't eat uncooked soft cheese if you are indeed pregnant (as suggested by previous posts). There is an associated risk of Listeria infection. Cooked is fine however.
Wish you the best pregnancy journey and delivery. Amin
Thank you Bashirah
We call it Wagashi in Ghana by our Hausa s

Odun you are supposed to taste that milk, a sip cant kill you
Thank you
I've missed you Odun.
Thank you
Life struggle nice strive for greatness..
Thank you
Dis good, we ought to keep interviewing MORE FROM village, because they're the LAST authentic people on 🌍.
And that CHEESE ain't healthy...
Not the last but I hear you 😂

Nice video. Where is this?
efe bosomo Yorubaland @ A Fulani Homestead1!$
ITS CRAP...
Hey Efe, this is Oyo state!
What part of Nigeria is this?
Lagos
Bomubomu leaves extract is the coagulant
🤔
Senior citizen of #Nigeria(cow)
Very funny 😄
Odunayo u wey chop dog meat that time you dey fear cow milk
Was it raw dog meat she ate or cooked one?
She said she can't drink raw milk.
Ever heard of Brucellosis? Yes!!! Check it out. Drinking unpasteurized milk puts you at risk of getting infected with Brucella.
There’s always a reason
Now all u need is some noodles, milk, eggs, salt and pepper to make a Black American staple of Macaroni and cheese!
nope wrong kind of cheese
Afternoon Delight
Do you use noodles to make macaroni cheese !!!!!!?
honeybee Yes ma'am...Hence the name MACARONI ( noodles) AND CHEESE.
Afternoon Delight
In USA noodles and macaroni are meaning the same thing!!!?
For me they don't hahahaha, I know both of them are pasta but they are different in many ways, macaroni is Italian food but noodles are east asian food.
Anyway I love macaroni with cheese looool.
Excuse my broken English
What’s the recipe for this?
How can i get the coagulating plant or its equivalent in UK?
You can use ewé bomubómú (i.e. solanum incanum)
Serpent Serpent Thanks. I use magnesium Chloride. Since I discovered this coagulant I have been enjoying ‘wara’ or white cheese in the comfort of my home in the UK. Same taste and you only need a small teaspoon for a litre of whole fresh milk. Now it’s only the fat I am afraid of. Very tasty when I want to give myself a treat.
Vinegar will do the same work or alum
Try vinegar
I haven't seen this journalist in a while, I always like to see her on duty. She's pregnant!
Thank you
It looks like ricotta cheese or a bit like mozzarella cheese. Did the woman not want to say her name on camera? Anyways, well done Odun.
Thank you
That is not Nigerian cheese per se, this practice you will find all around the globe. what came out was cottage cheese.
Cheese made in nigeria= nigerian cheese. Don't disturb. Lots of regions make their own cheese and name it after their own regions
I have tasted cottage cheese is nothing like this wara cheese. They are world apart in taste
@@rotawo help me and tell them. Everyone just wants to equate african food with something western
These two are different in taste
This cheese will go well with homemade hamburgers, but you never tell us the name of the leaf been extracted inside the milk lol
It is called Calotropis procera.
How do you make homemade hamburgers?
she's got a baby in her hand close to all that fire wood smoke
Safety is key. Thank you
Kudos to you for this discovery about wara. But you need to give your respondents in research work like this prior orientation for proper educative value of the research.
Once again, this is a great job!

Does is test like Breast milk? Really?
No it doesn’t 😂
Nice... I hope the cheese won't give me pimple. Cus I break out when I consume dairy products.
Sexy Damsel you're lactose intolerant then
Temitope Missa oh really. I thought it has to do with the stomach.... When one is lactose intolerant. Lolz. I don't know so thanks for letting me know. All I know was that I don't take dairy products my milk is Almond milk or soy milk
If any dairy products makes your stomach upset it means you're lactose intolerant. You can't digest lactose, the sugar found in milk. Hence why you don't have a problem with almonds and soy milk. Honestly I prefer plant based milk but I love wara 😂😂
+Temitope Missa yes.. u right dear... got that lactose intolerance thing but I found away atone it by taking zinc after eating dairies
@@teslimayinka2254 oh I didn't know you could do that
Organic but more hygiene would be better.
Thank you
The cows are malnourished😒.
chef bella malnourished or just not over feed like you’re used to seeing in the west. My guess is a malnourished cow wouldn’t produce milk fit for making cheese🙂
@chef bella, the cows are not malnourished. They are different types of cows. Simply google search.
The cows are definitely malnourished with proper feeding the cows should be ready to breed in 18 to 24 months not 5 years
@@kris2552 you're talking nonsense you know nothing of farming
🥺
why did she do that at 11:47 ? did she forget that she was interviewing someone at that particular time? I always dislike watching this woman doing the interviews I rather any other cast member because I love batta box, did anyone else see the face she gave the young lady? she looked away from her as of she was disgusted by her, I must say, that was a very hypocritical and immature thing to do, smdh
Sasha-Gay Hunter I Disagree. Odunayo Is Always Respectful And Professional. She Is A Great Storyteller1!$
Lol, the fulani woman had an attitude, can't blame the interviewer sha.
erelolipop and no matter what, someone will always feel as if they have to have something to say....
Yeah she seemed like a bit of a bitch
anjena that's what I'm saying, how can u be giving a face expression like that during an interview, I mean come on!!
I don't want to come off as being judgemental but I honestly had this weird feeling watching this. Every food Vlogger I have had the opportunity to watch their videos are warm. This lady has no business going to that family if she cannot at least taste the milk. She comes off as someone who is not personable.
Odin was pregnant at that time. Pregnant women are not supposed to drink unpasteurized (raw) milk.
@@bukster337 exactly. You can see that she was pregnant here.
Thank you
couldn't pay me to eat anything from there...
You could make yours
I think you should have sound better by calling Her Lady not Woman.
Thank you
Impressive video. But, I have many questions. Given the Fulani herdsmen crisis in Nigeria, does this video hurt or help? Are these nomadic herdmen, or sedentary ones? Are we seeking mutual understanding or are we trying to sweep it under the carpet? Also, I am very curious how you guys made arrangements for the video? Finallly, how come the Fulani farmer speaks Yoruba so well? (PS: I don't believe you mentioned the state or the name of the village.)
Given the Fulani herdsmen crisis in Nigeria, does this video hurt or help?
Hurt or help who? I do not thing they made this video for that purpose. The goals was to show their viewers how cheese is made.
how come the Fulani farmer speaks Yoruba so well?
The Fulani are a nomadic ethnic group that have settled in different parts of Africa. Chances are he speaks Yoruba well because his family settled in a state where the population is predominately Yoruba.
Also, there are other ethnic groups that rear cattle (like the Hausas).
Most Fulanis and nomads, they easily learn new languages
Me I don't even eat cheese,
Why is that?

--0--0 What happened to this orogbo lady today??? she wasnt has lively as before....she didnt Heat (eat) the
J whole cheese in the pot....because i know she always Heat (eat) everything........maybe she is not feeling
\/ well today.....
This wasn’t nice, but thanks for your concern
We call it wagashi in ghana. Its made by funalis and hausa people.
Beautiful
how come these fulanis are living in yoruba land
erelolipop will Fulani allow a southerner to own land and do business like that in their own community?
For how many times ur people occupy alot place in nothrtn nigeria u the type of people that bring problem to nigeria
The most stupid question a ever heard. I'm fúlani from sénégal so you will ask me why I'm senegalese?? Are we alien in Africa or what? Stop diving your country whit this ethnical shits. We are all Africans and that is it.
They are called nomads. They live where ever there is land
They are nomads
I like the video cause I just want to know how to make wara but I am not pleased with your presentation with the lady. You look disgusted about her Always inform your interviewee prior to the interview.
Thank you and well noted

Maybe because the interview is been conducted in Yoruba land. As they say, when you're in Rome, do like the Romans. When you're in France, better to learn how to speak French, And better to learn english when you reside in England. I think that should be logical obvious.
@@mungopark1876 What the fuck are you talking about? Wàrà is Yorùbá for milk; wàràkaṣi on the other hand is the accurate Yorùbá name for the curdled milk cheese (paneer) made from the leaf known as bomubómú (i.e. Calotropis procera). So when she is in Yorubaland she should speak correctly.

You could try making yours 😊
STILL COOKING ON FLOORS IN 2018..
buddy holland and still in mud huts
+JR Perez ... yes.. cos it's their farm not their home
buddy holland what’s your point?
@@teslimayinka2254 yeah because every Farm owner cooks on the floor.....
Wrong.
And they're probably better off than others who don't
But people say Africans dont live in huts!
Very poor few do in the villages of northern and western Nigeria
And what is wrong with living in huts? Definitely better than living in your trashy trailer parks
Why must it be poor and not just traditional? You Africans love looking down on yourselves as if you are most grateful to have been colonized. GTFOOH!
Few people still do
Girl you don't do that to my people. you don't have to swallow the milk but taste with your tongue and spit .
I can tell the woman is not open.
She was pregnant at the time, she could get infected from the uncooked raw milk.
Tasting and spitting would be an insult to the guest
