How to make Nigerian cheese – called Wara – which is similar to soft cheese or Tofu, but cooked in the rural country of Nigeria.
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.

Nice video. Where is this?
efe bosomo Yorubaland @ A Fulani Homestead1!$
ITS CRAP…
Hey Efe, this is Oyo state!
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!$
Organic but more hygiene would be better.
STILL COOKING ON FLOORS IN 2018..
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
IS THIS THE BEST NIJERIA AN SHOW…
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.)
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.
The cows are malnourished😒.
pedophilia is legitimately practiced in some remote part of Nigeria without any government interference, the girl making the cheese was definitely underage before she got married and started consummation and never went to school .
Very sad indeed ! what a country…
