Bright, tangy, and rich, this creamy spread is guaranteed to amp up the flavor on any dish. Labne is a soft cheese similar to Greek yogurt that's typically used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean recipes. Thicker than its yogurt cousin, labne is strained to remove most of its excess whey, giving it the texture of ice cream and the delectable milkiness of classic cream cheese. This version is cool and lactic, with a mouthwatering citrus profile and lemony tartness reminiscent of sour cream. Mix some labne with Murray's Olive Oil and herbs for a delightful dipping sauce.
"One of my best friends growing up was Turkish. Her grandmother was incredibly loving and an especially fantastic cook. She would make this wonderful dish of thinly sliced eggplant fried in olive oil and topped with parsley and homemade labne. The first time I tried Victor's Labne, the flavor and texture instantly brought back happy childhood memories of sleepovers at my friend's house and eating that dish. I have yet to taste a store bought labne as good as this one."
