Today I ate vi containers of Greek yogurt. Ok, non really. I tasted vi dissimilar brands of Greek yogurt. You tin likely detect Greek yogurt inward your local supermarket, its boot the bucket increasingly available inward the U.S.A. of America over the past times few years (I've been told it's withal a flake difficult to detect inward parts of Canada).
First of all, allow me clear something up, the Greek yogurt you lot detect inward the US is non yogurt from Greece. All the brands I constitute were produced domestically. Greek yogurt is strained together with some of the whey is removed, then it's thicker than typical yogurt. It's dense together with creamy, buttery inward season together with higher inward fat. But at that spot are likewise non-fat together with low-fat Greek yogurts. You tin purpose the yogurt inward house of sour cream, amongst granola and/or fruit, drizzled amongst beloved or a dollop of jam or preserves. It's likewise used inward lots of Greek recipes.
The skillful intelligence is, that all the amount fatty Greek yogurt I tried was absolutely delicious. You actually can't boot the bucket incorrect amongst the amount fatty versions when it comes to season together with texture. Choose something that is organic, or comes from milk from cows non treated amongst rGBH if you lot prefer.
The bad news? All Greek yogurt is substantially to a greater extent than expensive than regular yogurt together with higher inward fatty equally well. You tin construct Greek mode yogurt past times draining conventional yogurt (with alive active cultures) amongst cheesecloth or a yogurt strainer. But mayhap you lot are wondering, equally I was, are the non-fat varieties worth buying? Here are my ratings of the non-fat varieties:
★ Brown Cow

★★★ Fage
Tangy, really thick, creamy, really slight chalky aftertaste. Recommended
Greek Gods

★★ Oikos
Creamy texture, mildly tangy together with light. Recommended
Voskos
Very tangy, chalky, to a greater extent than similar sour cream. Not recommended, my to the lowest degree favorite
Notes:
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 tiny flake of beloved improved all the non-fat varieties of yogurt balancing some of the acidity.
The yogurt develops a to a greater extent than tangy season the longer you lot boot the bucket on it.
The percent of fatty together with order out of calories vary on the amount or depression fatty varieties of Greek yogurt, banking concern gibe the labels.
Greek Gods was my favorite of the amount fatty varieties. Fage was likewise outstanding.
Chobani flavored yogurts were really good, I particularly liked the pomegranate flavor. Because the flavorings are on bottom, you lot tin mix inward equally much or equally fiddling equally you lot like.
