Labna cheese, also known as labneh, is a creamy, tangy cheese made by straining yogurt to remove excess whey. Originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, it is a versatile dairy product that can be enjoyed as a spread, dip, or addition to savory dishes. Rich in probiotics, Labna supports gut health and digestion. It’s also a good source of protein and calcium, contributing to strong bones and muscle development. While its dense texture makes Labna an enjoyable alternative to cream cheese, it’s lower in fat and calories compared to many other cheeses, making it a lighter choice. However, its sodium content can vary depending on preparation, so individuals monitoring salt intake should check labels or make it homemade for better control. Whether paired with olive oil and spices or used as a topping, Labna is a wholesome and delicious option for those seeking nutritious dairy alternatives rooted in tradition.
