How to Make Yoghurt Cheese aka Labneh

My recipe for Yoghurt cheese or Labneh would have to be one of the simplest cheeses to make. Not only that, it is full of flavour and delicious. The video includes a recipe on how to serve Labneh.

Tried this recipe a couple of days ago. It was a big hit with the family. Made three cheese logs. One rolled in herb de Provence, one with rosemary, and rolled in herb de Provence, and one with rosemary, rolled in smoked paprika.

My Lebanese grandma used to make this cheese by the boatload. She would roll them into balls about 1.5 inches wide and store them in a large jar with extra virgin olive oil. For breakfast she'd scoop some balls with oil into a bowl and we'd dip fresh pitas into it along with some za'taar.

Beautiful Buddy, you told me you were making it the day I made it on my channel and I had been looking out for it. Darn it if I didn't miss it.. Good fun to watch as always Gavin.
Blessed indeed are the Cheesemakers my friend LOL. Salivating my friend.

This is fantastic sprinkled with Za'atar instead of dukkah as well & more traditional Lebanese flavours. The sumac in Za'atar gives it a lemony kick as well 😋

In my country(bulgaria) we call it Drained Yogurt (sour milk) Its party of a our everyday meals and we mostly ea it with cucumber cut in small 0.5x0.5cm blocks and graded wallnuts. We call it snow white salad :) (Snezhanka)

Looks great!! I’ll have to try this version of yogurt cheese, I usually hang mine in the fridge for a few days then marinate balls in olive oil with peppercorns garlic etc, or I mix into the cheese chives, parsley grated pepper
Great to hear a Aussie voice 😊👍

I am happy you loved Labneh. I grew up eating Labneh and it is certainly one of the best soft cheese ever.

In India, we call it Hung curd (without salt), A Famous sweet called Shri khand is made by adding sugar, nuts, rose water, saffron etc to the Hung curd.

Taht's a traditional Lebanese way to eat it. Pita, labneh and Mediterranean black olives. Roll it up and make sure you tell people if the olives have pits in them. Learned that the hard way.
It's very simple and good.

When you're done with the draining, instead of your toping (oil, lemon etc.) mix it with fresh diced onions, paprika & chilly powder and eat it together with fresh boiled unpeeled potatoes.
That tastes amazing and fills you up for the day. Fresh hot boiled potatoes go extremely good with cold spicy yoghurt or creme-cheese and onions. Same with fresh salad + dressing and hot boiled potatoes. Have a try, it's my moms good old German recipe and I tried it successfully on my good Aussie friends. :-)

In indian cuisine the whey is used in curries.

I use labneh in a sandwich. Tomato paste in one side labneh on the other little salt in the paste if it's not already salted then you add protein of your choice in between. I mostly use smoked turkey. Use a thin bread like pita and you have a quick midnight snack prepped in less then 2 minutes.

We call this strained yoghurt. In Turkish markets, labne is also a popular dairy product but it is different from strained yogurt; it is yogurt-based creamy cheese without salt. We ferment the milk with unsalted feta cheese paste then strain it to make labne at home. However commercial products are more ticker like mascarpone.

A thin spread of the cheese on toast with salt, black pepper, and chopped celery greens is a light and refreshing snack. I like to use the leftover whey in my baking - the acidity gets a great rise out of baking powder based dough.

[phyllisdenton]

I make yoghurt all the time. I never thought about making cheese with it.

[krankywitch]

Brilliant - as always. My home made yoghurt is almost as thick as your Labneh, so perhaps I’ll end up with one I can slice 🙃

[dwaynewladyka]

I love this type of cheese. I have made it before. I put fresh and/or dried herbs, garlic and lemon juice and zest in it. So good. I do not use yogurt with gelatin in it. Balkan style yogurt is what I have used.

[amitcarbyne]

I am going to add orange in the yogurt after letting it drip for 12 hrs. After further dripping for 12 hours i hope I get sweet orange flavoured yogurt cheese.
