Dairy · Food pairing guide
What goes with Labneh?
Labneh is strained cultured dairy with a dense, spreadable body and a clear acidic finish. The degree of draining and salt content determine whether it forms a soft spread or a firmer ball. It should not be treated as ordinary yoghurt without allowing for the different concentration of solids and seasoning.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Labneh?
Labneh can support roasted vegetables, pulses, herbs and carefully seasoned fruit. Oil rounds its texture, while spice and crisp garnishes provide contrast to the smooth base. Since the dairy is already acidic, add citrus or vinegar only after tasting the complete dish.
