Labneh is an essential taste of the Middle East. It can be flavoured with crushed garlic, chilli, or fresh mint.
In Lebanon, breakfast might include labneh, fresh cut herbs, black olives, pickles, honey, butter, or pastries.
In Jordan a traditional breakfast is pita bread dipped in rich labneh, a type of yogurt.
