labaneh-cheese

It is ridiculous how easy it is to make Labaneh cheese. Labaneh is a yogurt based cheese, originally made from sheep or goats milk. This cheese is made from two ingredients only- thick yogurt and sea salt. That’s it. As for equipment all you need is a cheese cloth or a thin towel. Pay attention that the yogurt has a high enough fat content, otherwise most of the weight will drain out in the process. The texture of the cheese really is up to you guys, some people like it creamy to spread on bread and some prefer harder Labaneh balls to add to you salads. The preference of your texture will determine how long you hang the Labaneh. Note! I love my Labaneh salty, try it. If you want- next time reduce the quantity of salt to 2%.
