Frequently Asked Questions About Ekici Labneh Cheese
What does Ekici Labneh Cheese taste like?
Ekici Labneh Cheese tastes creamy, mildly tangy and less sharp than many fresh cheeses. Its strained-yogurt character makes it work well with both savory toppings, such as herbs and olive oil, and sweeter pairings like fruit or honey.
How do you serve Ekici Labneh Cheese as a dip?
Spread Ekici Labneh Cheese in a shallow bowl, make a small well, and add olive oil, herbs or spices. Serve it with warm flatbread or cut vegetables; mix in garlic or lemon if you want a more strongly flavored dip.
Is Ekici Labneh Cheese the same as cream cheese?
No. Ekici Labneh Cheese is a strained-yogurt cheese with a slight tang, while cream cheese is usually made with milk and cream. They can sometimes replace one another, but their flavor and moisture can change the result in a recipe.
Can Ekici Labneh Cheese replace sour cream?
Yes, Ekici Labneh Cheese can replace sour cream in dips, baked potatoes and many toppings. It is thicker and usually less pourable, so thin it with a little water or milk when a recipe needs a drizzle or loose dressing.
Can you cook with Ekici Labneh Cheese?
Yes, Ekici Labneh Cheese works in sauces, soups and fillings, but prolonged high heat can make its texture split or turn grainy. Stir it in near the end of cooking, preferably after taking the pan off the heat.
Can Ekici Labneh Cheese be used in cheesecake?
Yes, Ekici Labneh Cheese can make a creamy cheesecake filling. Its tangy flavor and moisture differ from standard cream cheese, so use a recipe designed for labneh or expect the filling to have a slightly different texture and taste.
What foods go well with Ekici Labneh Cheese?
Ekici Labneh Cheese pairs well with flatbread, pita, crackers and raw vegetables, as well as olives, cucumber and fresh herbs. For a sweeter snack, try it with fruit or a little honey rather than seasoning it with savory toppings.
How should you store Ekici Labneh Cheese after opening?
Keep Ekici Labneh Cheese refrigerated with the package tightly closed, and use a clean utensil each time. Follow the package’s after-opening instructions, and discard it if you notice mold, an unusual smell or a clear change in appearance.
Can you freeze Ekici Labneh Cheese?
Yes, you can freeze Ekici Labneh Cheese, but thawing may leave it watery or grainy instead of smooth. Use thawed labneh in cooked dishes, where the texture change is less noticeable, rather than expecting it to spread like fresh labneh.
Why is Ekici Labneh Cheese watery on top?
A small amount of liquid on Ekici Labneh Cheese can separate during storage. Stir it back in before serving; if the product also has mold, an off smell or a noticeable change in color, do not eat it.

What is Ekici Labneh Cheese?
Ekici Labneh Cheese is a smooth, spreadable cheese made from strained yogurt, with a gentle tang and a creamy texture. Labneh is widely enjoyed across the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East; in Turkey, it often appears at breakfast, spread on bread or served alongside olives and fresh vegetables. It is also used in dips and desserts.
Its mild flavor works well with herbs, garlic or a drizzle of olive oil, whether you serve it as a dip or spread it on toast. It is relatively high in fat and more modest in protein, so a little adds plenty of richness. For a lighter plate, pair it with crunchy vegetables, or use it in place of a heavier spread.
