Place a sieve over a large mixing bowl and line it with muslin cloth (cheesecloth).

Pour full fat Greek yogurt on top of the muslin cloth and tie a knot at the top.

Place the yogurt in the fridge and let it strain for 24 hours.

Chop fresh mint finely.

Mince garlic by chopping it finely and then using the flat part of the blade to squash it against the chopping board.

Peel the Lebanese cucumber and grate it.

Strain the grated cucumber to remove excess water.

After 24 hours, untie the muslin cloth and check the thickened yogurt.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the thickened yogurt, minced garlic, strained cucumber, chopped mint, and salt.

Add olive oil and mix all ingredients until well combined.

Transfer the tzatziki to a serving bowl and create divots on top with a spoon.

Drizzle olive oil into the divots and sprinkle with dried oregano.

Place a black olive in the center for presentation.
