Did you know? Greek yogurt isn’t specifically “Greek”, per se—it simply has that reputation due to the fact that a yogurt company with origins in Greece was one of the first to introduce yogurt to the U.S. that had most of its liquid strained out (called straggisto in Greece). While not solely a Greek invention, this technique is certainly popular in Greece, and elsewhere around the globe, since the straining process leaves it with its signature tangy yogurt flavor, but a texture closer to that of sour cream.

All that said: we love Greek yogurt. The tang! The texture! And we know you love it, too, because we sell more Greek style yogurt than you can shake a strainer at. Trader Joe’s Greek Yogurts are made for us by a “yogurteria” that scores big on tang, texture, and of course, value!

Our Plain Whole Milk Greek Yogurt is made, as one might expect, using whole milk, so it’s a “full fat” yogurt. Its rich flavor and thick, yet smooth, consistency are ideal complements to the inherent tanginess of Greek style yogurt. It’s luscious, flavorful, and creamy, high in protein (7-10 grams per serving, depending on flavor), and contain cultures like L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, and Bifidus to aid in healthy digestion.
