Marinated Labneh Dip
There is nothing quite as satisfying as creating your own cheese! Labneh is a middle eastern yoghurt cheese and probably a great place to start if you plan on making more cheese. It is super simple to make and very delicious when you add in all our flavours and other serving suggestions.
Note; We do love using the left over whey in all bread making, or to ferment certain recipes that we have on this site. So please don't throw it a-whey. It is too good!
