Balmoș (sometimes spelled balmuș) is another "mămăligă"-like traditional Romanian dish, but is more elaborate. Unlike "mămăligă" (where the cornmeal is boiled in water) when making "balmoș" the cornmeal must be boiled in sheep milk. Other ingredients, such as butter, sour cream, "telemea" (a type of feta cheese), "caș" (a type of fresh curdled ewe cheese without whey, which is sometimes called "green cheese" in English), "urdă" (similar to ricotta), etc., are added to the mixture at certain times during the cooking process. It is a specialty dish of old Romanian shepherds, and nowadays very few people still know how to make a proper "balmoș".
