Creating cheese at home may seem difficult, but what if you could make a tasty cheese using only yogurt and without cooking? This easy and affordable technique has become popular because it is simple to use and provides great outcomes. Here is how you can make your own yogurt cheese, great for spreading on crackers, using in recipes, or enjoying on its own.
Why choose yogurt cheese?
Yogurt cheese, also known as "labneh" in Middle Eastern cooking, is created by draining yogurt until it becomes thick and creamy by removing most of its liquid. It has a lot of protein, much less fat than regular cheeses, and has a tangy taste that is versatile and delicious.

Plain yogurt (whole milk yogurt is recommended for a richer taste, but any type will work)
Salt (if desired)
Materials Required
A big bowl
A small strainer or sieve.
