I was fortunate enough to spend lots of time with a wonderful Lebanese family e who have changed my way of eating for good. I actually go to a Middle eastern market and they always have it in the refrigerated section. Not as cool as you making it, but it is amazing. I love it with the giant KING pita (split it in half and the best thin pitas ever!) and rolled up like a taquito! Anyway, hope you can fing it. I love lebnae!

I have been reviewing alot of other websites for authentic Greek yogurt recipes. This is the best and most complete summary I've seen and I absolutely love the Labneh recipe. Convnience and cost savings aside, a few years ago I tried truly homemade yogurt on a small country farm (B&B) in France, and I've enjoyed a variety of farm fresh homemade cheeses in other parts of the world... homemade beats anything I've been able to buy and though perfecting the process takes practice, its part of the fun!

Guess that's why your (and my) earlier attempts failed. I really thought the full fat yogurt from Cabot would make great cheese, but nothing really happened. Guess I'll have to go to the Oikos fat-free stuff. Should have believed you in the first place. Dannon.com says if there’s gelatin in the yogurt, it will keep the whey from seperating.

My dad (he's Lebanese) gave me a recipe whereby you start with milk but add the greek yogurt as a culture if you don't have a starter. I think perhaps I did not use enough of the starter - perhaps because I ate most of it! anyway, mine looks like yogurt, not cheese, tastes great, but it's not what it's supposed to look like. amusing post!

I made this for my wife and I, and it was fantastic! She couldn't believe making cheese was this easy. We'll be sure to have a steady supply of Greek yogurt on hand to make this. And the best thing about it? FAT FREE! Hi there – just wanted to comment on this. I made this for my wife and I, and it was fantastic! She couldn’t believe making cheese was this easy.

I had been trying to make Tzaziki (I probably didn't spell that right) for ages using regular yogurt and failing miserably. A few days in the fridge always turned it into soup no matter how long I drained it beforehand. After reading this, I tried it with Greek yogurt instead and got the lovely textured (and delicious!) version I had been hoping for...and it keeps its texture in the fridge. I used a coffee filter in a strainer on the counter overnight...worked splendidly. Thanks! :D Yes!
