Labneh is a type of soft cheese made from strained yoghurt that has been part of Middle Eastern cuisines for thousands of years and is used as a good source of protein. It is light and refreshing with a creamy texture, it is versatile and delicious and usually eaten as you would any mezze spread such as hummus - as a dip for pita or falafel, as a spread on pita with a sprinkle of za'atar or in a Turkish bread sandwich with vegetables or meat for a fast lunch. You will find Labneh in the chiller section of your supermarket or at any Middle Eastern speciality store or it is so simple that you could try to make Labneh at home.
