Labneh recipes
You can vary endlessly with the Labneh recipes from our Zuivelarij. Spread the Labneh on your prettiest plate, finish with a nice topping, salsa, chutney, fresh or dried herbs and lots of olive oil. Traditionally, you serve Labneh with flatbread as mezze.
/dipsLabneh can be used just as well in recipes to replace sour cream or cream cheese. Our Labneh gives your preparation a rich flavor but at the same time a fresh-sour touch. For example, use it instead of tomato sauce for your pizza crust, as a base for a hearty tzatziki, in spicy Indian sauces, as a healthier mayonnaise or even as a base for homemade spreads & dips. You can also combine it with our equally delicious Berloumi.
