 you will need:

Olive oil to caver cheese balls, and some to drizzle over the spread if serving it on plate like Humus.

very fine plastic sieve /strainer or muslin cloth. I have spacial plastic con with very fine plastic mesh .
If you don't have plastic strainer, you can use any you have lined with cotton cloth (buy baby cotton dipper I t's the best) tide the yogurt in the baby cotton Dipper and hang it over night in cool place (in Singapore do it in AC room or refrigerator)
