Nabulsi Cheese - how to use?

I bought some nabulsi cheese at the supermarket the other day to see what it's like. While I like the flavour, it is INCREDIBLY salty. (It's a white, brined cheese, kind of like feta).

agree  Bourth (X): Looks wrong to me but is 14 times more common than "Nablusi"!/And with Arabic you never know what vowels to put where.
3 mins
  -> Thank you Bourth - I thought that too, but as its name derives from Neapolis, it seems less improbable
neutral  Sandra & Kenneth Grossman: Never heard it in real life.

  -> No, nor had I even read of it or wondered about what inhabitants of the place are known as, but still... will keep ears peeled from now on ;-) - thanks for the comment :-)
