ABOUT GREEK YOGURT
Greek Yogurt starts out the same as regular yogurt. Greek Yogurt is much
thicker than regular yogurt because the extra liquid (whey) has been
strained out.
The extra whey has additional protein and nutrients. It can be saved and
used as an addition in breads, soups, smoothies and shakes.
Many other countries have their own versions of strained yogurt. The French
have a similarly strained dairy product called fromage blanc. Icelandic
strained yogurt is called skyr.
Greek Yogurt is thicker because it has been strained.
Traditionally, yogurt is strained using cheesecloth.
