Is Yogurt Cheese The Same As Greek Yogurt?
No, yogurt cheese and Greek yogurt are not the same. Yogurt cheese, also known as labneh, is made by straining regular yogurt to remove the whey and create a thicker, creamier consistency. Greek yogurt, on the other hand, is made by straining yogurt to remove some of the whey and create a thicker, creamier yogurt but it is not left strained to become cheese. While both may be used in similar ways, they have slightly different flavors and textures.
