Labane: Middle Eastern Yoghurt Cheese
Ranked #9,284 in Food & Cooking, #156,355 overall | Donates to African Way Foundation
Labane is cheese made from curdled yogurt.
Labane is very popular in the mediterranean and middle east. It's a kind of cheese that is easy to make at home. Just let some yogurt sit out until it starts to separate a bit, and then strain it for 24-48 hours through a cheesecloth or cotton pillow sheet.
What makes it uniquely mediterranean though, is the addition of olive oil and/or storage in olive oil. Olive oil takes the "tang" off of the taste, and keeps it from molding as quickly.

How to Make Labane
Labane is very easy. You just take a large jug of yogurt, and dump it into a pillow case or cheese cloth. Tie it up, and let it sit in a strainer atop a bowl for 24-48 hours.Before the straining, some people like to mix salt or extra olive oil into it. I don't. Olive oil and salt change the texture.
When it's done, roll it into balls, and put it in a container or jar. Then pour olive oil over it all. Alternatively, you can make it soft (24 hours) and put it in a bowl in one piece. Just pour olive oil over it so that it will keep longer.
You can mix things into it. Some people mix it with cucumbers and seasonings to make a kind of dressing that is very nice with kebab.
