We found ourselves entering social gatherings, snacks scattered recklessly around the table. Strawberries and carrots askew, we’d timidly ask, “Excuse me, where’s the labneh?”

Horrified—or worse—confused looks would turn our way. “Well, I don’t know about labneh, but we have some hummus,” these so-called friends would answer. We were appalled. Time and time again, we entered parties, grocery stores, picnics, bowling clubs, period-drama nights, even our own fridges in search of this dippable goodness. Only to be met with a labneh-hole in our heart (and stomach).

So, we took it upon ourselves to create Bezi: the labneh that labnehs better than any other labneh out there. High in protein, low in tang, and ready to party.
