Spiced labneh balls are made from labneh, a thick, strained yogurt, shaped into small rounds and coated with seasonings. Common coatings include herbs, chili, za’atar, or sesame. Some versions are packed in olive oil, which also carries the spice flavors.
To make spiced labneh balls, chill thick labneh until it is firm enough to shape, roll it into small balls, then coat each one with herbs or spices. Handle them gently, since softer labneh can lose its shape; olive oil is optional for serving or storage.
Spiced labneh balls are associated with Levantine cooking, where labneh is traditionally made by straining yogurt. Rolling the thick cheese into balls and preserving or serving it with olive oil and seasonings is a practical way to enjoy labneh beyond the breakfast table.
Serve spiced labneh balls chilled or briefly brought toward room temperature, with pita or crusty bread, olives, and fresh vegetables. They also work as part of a mezze spread. If packed in olive oil, spoon some of the flavored oil over the serving.
Za’atar, dried mint, chili flakes, sumac, and sesame all pair well with spiced labneh balls. Use one seasoning or combine a few for a more complex coating. Keep the mixture fairly dry so it clings to the labneh instead of turning pasty.
Keep spiced labneh balls refrigerated in a clean, tightly covered container. If they are packed in oil, keep the balls covered with oil and use a clean utensil each time; follow the package’s storage directions for a commercially prepared product.
Yes, spiced labneh balls can be frozen, but freezing may make labneh grainy or watery after thawing. For the best texture, serve them fresh. If you do freeze them, thaw them in the refrigerator and avoid refreezing them.
No. Regular labneh is strained yogurt with a spreadable texture, while spiced labneh balls are shaped portions coated with seasonings and sometimes stored in olive oil. The balls are firmer and easier to serve as a snack or part of a mezze platter.
Yes, spiced labneh balls make a flavorful addition to salads, sandwiches, and wraps. Break one apart or spread it across the bread so the labneh is distributed evenly. Add it near serving time to keep greens crisp and prevent bread from becoming soggy.
They can be high in sodium because both labneh and spice coatings may contain added salt. The amount varies by recipe and product. If you are watching your sodium intake, choose a less salty version or make them at home with less added salt.

Spiced labneh balls are made by shaping thick, strained yoghurt into small rounds and coating them with herbs or spices. Labneh is a Levantine staple, and the balls are sometimes kept in olive oil for serving and storage.
Their creamy, tangy centre contrasts with the savoury coating. In the Levant they are served at breakfast or as part of a mezze spread; elsewhere, they work well with flatbread, toast, crackers or fresh vegetables. They are rich in fat and provide some protein, while remaining relatively low in carbohydrates. Because seasoning can make them salty, pair them with unsalted vegetables or bread, or use a modest amount in a larger mezze plate.
Medium
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
