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 different ingredients: 8 eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of dairy milk, 2 cup of condensed milk, a small amount of citric acid or lemon and salt, half teaspoon of yeast, ghee, shathab (ruta graveolens), nigella sativa seeds.[1][2]
