Lebanese Labneh...
Or simply Labneh, because it's Lebanese anyhow...a delicious naturally low fat spread cheese made overnight out of yogurt, thus out of fresh milk.
It is widely consumed in Lebanon at breakfast and dinner, with olive oil, tomatoes, cucumbers, mint leaves or "zaatar" (a Lebanese herb mix mainly made with dried thyme).
When garlic is added to it, or "toum" in Lebanese, it becomes part of the famous Lebanese meze.
This version of labneh involves making it into balls and dipping it in olive oil for long-term preservation.
