Experience the Middle East with this Authentic Labneh Recipe
Labneh, also spelled Labneh or Laban, is a Middle Eastern yogurt-based cheese that has been enjoyed for centuries in many parts of the Mediterranean and Middle East. Its history can be traced back to ancient times, where it was a staple food in the diet of nomadic tribes and was valued for its long shelf life and nutritional benefits.
The traditional method of making Labneh involves straining yogurt through a cheesecloth for several hours or overnight, which removes the whey and creates a thicker, creamier texture. The strained yogurt is then rolled into small balls and preserved in olive oil or saltwater, which helps to preserve it and enhance its flavour.
Labneh is a popular ingredient in many Middle Eastern dishes, and it can be served in a variety of ways, perfect for spreading on bread, eaten on its own with olives, crackers, and salad.
