What is labneh"

Labneh (also lebneh/labnah/lebne) is a soft cheese commonly eaten in the Levantine region along the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, which includes Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan and Israel. Labneh is similar to Greek yogurt, but thicker, with a flavor some describe as being midway between that of yogurt and cheese.
Making vegan labneh couldn't be easier--in fact, it is one of the easiest vegan cheeses you can make. All you need to do is strain unflavored or plain yogurt for 24 to 48 hours until all of the whey has been removed, leaving behind the thick, cheesy, creamy solid portion.

The cream cheese is often served as a dip, with savory toppings that commonly include a generous glug of olive oil and za'atar.
