Strained yogurt is a popular dairy product characterized by its creamy consistency and tangy taste. Known by various names across different cultures, such as Greek yogurt, labneh, or hung curd, strained yogurt is produced by removing the whey component of yogurt through a straining process, resulting in a thick and velvety texture. Some other synonyms for strained yogurt include yogurt cheese, quark, skyr, and tarator. Strained yogurt has gained popularity in recent years for its health benefits, which include high protein content, low sugar content, and probiotic properties. It is commonly used as a healthy replacement for mayonnaise, sour cream, or cream cheese in dips, dressings, and sauces.
