Middle East

Labneh is a velvety Middle Eastern cheese made by straining yogurt, resulting in a rich and creamy texture. Traditionally enjoyed as a staple in Levantine cuisine, it embodies the region's culinary heritage and is often drizzled with olive oil and served with za'atar. Its origins trace back centuries, where it was a way to preserve milk in hot climates. Labneh not only delights the palate but also carries the stories of families and gatherings around the table, making it a beloved delicacy.
