Labne, also known as strained yogurt or yogurt cheese, is a creamy, tangy dairy product widely used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. Made by straining yogurt to remove whey, Labne becomes thick and spreadable, with a texture similar to cream cheese. Its ingredients are typically simple—yogurt and a pinch of salt—making it a wholesome source of protein and probiotics, which support gut health and digestion. Labne is also rich in calcium, essential for bone health. However, it can be high in saturated fat depending on the type of yogurt used, so opting for low-fat versions may be a healthier choice. Versatile and flavorful, Labne can be enjoyed as a dip, spread, or sauce, often paired with olive oil, za’atar, or fresh vegetables. Its nutrient-dense profile makes it not only delicious but also a valuable addition to a balanced diet.
