Yaza, a company with a mission to introduce traditional labneh into American homes, is expanding to the West Coast with three new retail partners. The tangy staple, typically found in Mediterranean diets, is made from fresh milk that is strained until it forms a smooth consistency, perfect for dipping and spreading. In March, Yaza will be available in the Greater Los Angeles Area at all Erewhon locations, all Pavilions locations, and three Lassens locations (Echo Park, La Brea and Los Feliz).
Yaza is committed to creating real labneh using only natural, whole ingredients that result in a probiotic-rich, naturally low-in-fat, high-protein product that is free from preservatives and added sugars. Along with Plain labneh, Yaza is offering additional unique blends, including Za'atar & Olive Oil and Spicy Chili varieties, with more to come. Its versatile flavor makes it the perfect healthy snack or substitute for toppings and ingredients like cream cheese and sour cream.
