Located in the Bekaa Valley, the town of Chtaura is widely considered the dairy capital of Lebanon. At the heart of it is Masabki Dairy, a local institution where Uncle Elias has been a beloved fixture for nearly half a century.
While the ingredients seem incredibly simple, the sandwich represents the ultimate Lebanese comfort food. The use of dense, oil-cured labneh instead of a standard soft spread provides an intensely rich, tangy base that defines the region’s agricultural heritage. It is a legendary, unpretentious morning staple that locals and travelers consistently go out of their way to experience.
