YOGHURT CHEESE (LABNA)



Yoghurt Cheese (Labna) image

This cheese (also labaneh) originates in the Middle Eastern countries and is usually made with goats milk. This give quite a sour cheese so cows milk yoghurt is more to our Western palate. Allow up to 48 hours. From 500mls expect about 250gm of cheese. If you won't eat this in a couple of days you will need to preserve it in oil. This can be done by simply rolling the cheese into walnut sized balls and placing in a jar and covering with olive oil.

Time P1DT3m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

500 ml plain low-fat yogurt (best quality you can find)
salt (optional)
olive oil
mint leaf

Steps:

  • Place a sieve over a large bowl. Line the sieve with a piece of cheesecloth or a Chux cloth.
  • Stir your yoghurt well then pour into the cloth in the sieve. Fold the sides of the cloth over the yoghurt.
  • Place the bowl & sieve into the fridge and leave to drain for up to 48 hours. I like to drain the whey every few hours so I can monitor the progress.
  • The cheese is ready when it is not releasing any whey. At this point taste and season with salt, if desired. Shape into a ball/mound.
  • Use as you would any other soft cheese. To serve with dips simply drizzle the mound with good olive oil and garnish with shredded mint.
