"Labneh is awesome, and this recipe is no exception, and simple enough to make. I prefer making my own yogurt and then straining it through the cheesecloth. I then shape the labneh into 2-inch balls ..." See moreand store in a jar with olive oil. Alternately, I store the labneh in a separate container and add the olive oil at serving time."
