Libba', Laba (Arabic: اللباء) is a type of Yemeni cheese. It is mostly eaten in rural areas of Yemen and Somalia as well. The libba is not sold as a product or in restaurants.
The word libba means colostrum in Arabic.
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.
Yemeni people in the cities who don't have goats or cows prepare the libba using ingredients including eggs as well as milk.
