And the Greek yogurt and cheese don’t see to be getting cheaper. I understand like with 20 months aged parmesan that the warehouse time and labor probably far outweigh the milk as input costs, but yogurt cmon, I’ve made it myself for way cheaper (without economies of scale) but its still expensive for brand names at the grocery store (like $8 for big jar).
- thrower123 7y agoThe weirdest thing about Greek yoghurt is that it is so hard to find any that isn't ultra-low or nonfat. The only brand that seems to sell full-fat yoghurt is Cabot, at least that I've seen. It's wildly better, and usually far lower sugar.
- ses1984 7y agoCertain retailers stock only what sells in this highest volume which is usually the nonfat variety, costco for example. I started making my own full fat greek yogurt, it's pretty easy.
- hyperbovine 7y agoThat has not been my experience at all. Trader Joe's, for one, has sold full-fat Greek yogurt for at least ten years. It's in a blue and white container. Thicker than sour cream and will probably kill me at 50, but damn good!
- vsskanth 7y agoYeah but why does it have less protein per cup (I think 8g) than other brands of greek yogurt (typically 20g)?
- coryrc 7y agoI don't believe it's strained like the real thing, but added whatever to make it thicker.
- coldcode 7y agoFat will not kill you as quickly as too much sugar. Most yoghurts have added sugar (insane amounts sometimes). I prefer plain with no added sugar; if I want some other flavoring I can add it myself. Once you get used to the plain varieties the tang is actually very pleasing. Not a big fan of the greek kinds as they are extremely wasteful to make.
- cpursley 7y agoWhy would it kill you? Cultures that consume yogurt generally have a higher than average life span. The protein and fats in yogurt are healthy for you.
- koolba 7y agoFage has a full fat variety that is stocked in just about every grocery store: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fage
- exhilaration 7y agoAnd it's amazing, it's the only yogurt my family eats.
- agustamir 7y agoabsolutely the winner out of all the fancy yogurts out there(european style, icelandic style, australian style).
- a3n 7y agoI love Fage full fat.I haven't seen it anywhere that I used to buy it for over a year.
- thrower123 7y agoFage tops out at 5% fat. It'll do in a pinch, but it's nowhere near as good as the Cabot 10%.
- YarickR2 7y agoI suggest checking "Nancy's" dairy line, made in Oregon.
- rickyc091 7y agoI believe it's to keep the calorie under 150. Cabot is at 300 calories per serving, whereas the low-fat to 2% ones are typically around 120 calories.
- ac29 7y agoYou'd think cheese would be incredibly cheap in the US given that there is such a ridiculous oversupply of it - 1.4 billion pounds last December: https://www.wsj.com/articles/america-cant-move-its-cheese-11545042600 https://www.wsj.com/articles/america-cant-move-its-cheese-11...
