The 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.
