Yogurt balls, also known as labneh balls, have a rich history dating back to the Middle East. This creamy and tangy delicacy is made by straining yogurt to remove the whey, resulting in a thick, cheese-like consistency. The strained yogurt is then rolled into small balls and preserved in olive oil, herbs, and spices. This traditional method of preserving yogurt allowed people to enjoy its benefits throughout the year. Today, yogurt balls are a popular appetizer or snack, often served with bread or as a topping for salads. Chefs in the Middle East, particularly in Lebanon and Turkey, are known for their expertise in crafting these delectable treats. For the best yogurt balls, seek out authentic Middle Eastern restaurants or specialty stores that offer artisanal versions of this beloved dish. The key to perfecting yogurt balls lies in the quality of the yogurt and the flavors infused during the preservation process. Whether enjoyed as a part of a mezze platter or as a standalone delight, yogurt balls continue to captivate food enthusiasts with their creamy texture and delightful taste.
