Oikos® Greek yogurt is made using a traditional straining method that removes some of the whey (liquid) from the yogurt, leaving a creamier final product.
WHY DOES OIKOS GREEK YOGURT TASTE SO DIFFERENT FROM OTHER NON-GREEK PLAIN YOGURT?
The difference in flavor results from some of the whey being strained out, leaving more of the milk solids. This gives Oikos Greek yogurt its thick texture. The thickness increases the intensity of the tart flavor. The taste also is influenced by the cultures used in the process.
IS GREEK YOGURT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS THICK?
Yes! Oikos Greek yogurt has a creamy-thick texture due to the straining process.
HOW CAN OIKOS GREEK YOGURT BE SO MUCH HIGHER IN PROTEIN THAN REGULAR NON-GREEK YOGURT?
Oikos Greek yogurt - with 11 to 15 g of protein per 5.3 oz. serving and 17 to 22 g per 6 oz. serving - is an excellent source of protein, while regular, non-Greek yogurt contains about 5 g of protein per 5.3 oz.* Our straining process leaves more of the milk solids, which results in a denser product with a higher protein level than that of regular, non-Greek yogurt.**
* Compared to Dannon® Plain Whole Milk Yogurt
**Oikos Traditional yogurt has 3 g saturated fat per 5.3 oz.
