Basically just strained /thickened yogurt. Similar to Greek yogurt but even thicker.

My Lebanese family enjoys it/makes it.

Labneh! The best!!! Yummmmm!

I know it can be made from goats milk.  Can it be made from cows milk?

I’d assume you could use any source of fat .

I made soap only once… used bacon grease and lye I boiled down from water that soaked through a barrel of wood ash.  Trying it out once was enough for me 😆

Take care with that kind of lye - neat Potassium hydroxide will find the fat in your skin to make soap with! But it was ideal in the days when clothes rarely met a wash, especially when you wiped your greasy hands on your clothes!
