Labneh is a Middle Eastern strained yogurt cheese that is tangy and creamy in texture. It is traditionally made by straining yogurt overnight to remove whey, resulting in a thick and rich spreadable cheese.

Za'atar is a popular Middle Eastern spice blend made from a mixture of dried thyme, oregano, marjoram, sesame seeds, and sumac. It has a tangy and earthy flavour profile with a hint of nuttiness from the sesame seeds.

When combined, labneh and za'atar create a delicious and creamy dip that is perfect for serving with Superseed Crackers, vegetables, or as a spread on sandwiches. The tanginess of the labneh pairs perfectly with the bold and aromatic flavours of the za'atar, creating a unique and flavourful dip that is sure to impress.
