We Tasted 5 Greek Yogurts & This Was the Best
Not all cultured dairy is yogurt, not all yogurt is Greek, and most definitely not all Greek yogurts are created equal. Sure, they re all thick enough in texture and high enough in protein to live up to the hype and health halo, but the industry s hit some sour patches.
Years ago, at the peak of this product s boom, domestic manufacturers came under fire for shortcutting the traditional, time-honored multi-straining process required to create true Greek yogurt. Instead, they introduced stabilizers and thickeners to regular yogurt in an effort to imitate the look, feel, and/or nutritional profile of Greek yogurt. Some brands like The Greek Gods quietly and inexplicably slip under the radar for their use of pectin as a thickener, while others, like Cabot Farms and Yoplait, were called out for their additives.
