Libba

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Libba', Laba (Arabic: اللباء) is a type of Yemeni cheese. It is mostly eaten in rural areas of Yemen[1] and Somalia as well. The libba is not sold as a product or in restaurants.

Etymology

[edit]

The word libba means colostrum in Arabic.[1]

Preparation

[edit]

Traditional way

[edit]

After a cow or a goat give birth, her milk is taken and boiled in a tannour. Shathab (ruta graveolens), nigella sativa seeds, salt and smoked ghee (Samn makbi) are added to the milk while it is boiling.[1]

Modern way

[edit]

Yemeni people in the cities who don't have goats or cows prepare the libba using ingredients including eggs as well as milk.[1][2]
