Labneh is one of the most loved foods of the Levantine breakfast. Among all the labneh you can find, labneh from Jerash in Jordan has a special place. Here is what makes it different and how to enjoy it.
What is labneh?
Labneh is strained yogurt, thick and creamy with a gentle tang. It is served with olive oil, za'atar and fresh bread, and it is a staple in Palestinian, Jordanian, Syrian and Lebanese homes.
What makes Jerash labneh special?
Jerash labneh comes from Jerash in Jordan and is made from sheep's milk. That gives it a richer and creamier taste than regular labneh made from cow's milk.
Labneh balls
Jerash labneh balls are labneh that is strained until firm, rolled into balls and kept in oil. They last longer than fresh labneh and are easy to serve: just take a few balls out with a clean spoon, add a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of za'atar.
