What is Greek strained yogurt?

The Greeks never
called it Greek.

What the rest of the world labels “Greek Yogurt,” the Greeks simply call strained yogurt. For nearly a hundred years FAGE has made it one way: strain the milk twice as long, let the wateriness drain away, keep the protein and the cream. That's the whole secret — and there are no others.

Rich. Creamy. Delicious.

How it's made

Four steps. No fifth.

01

Fresh milk, live cultures

It begins as it has for nearly a century — fresh milk set with live cultures, nothing else added to thicken it.

02

Strained twice as long

The yogurt is strained to remove the watery whey — patiently, twice as long as ordinary yogurt — until what's left is dense and concentrated.

03

What stays behind

Straining leaves the protein and the cream behind and the wateriness gone. That's the thick, spoon-standing texture — and where the protein comes from.

04

Rich. Creamy. Delicious.

No thickeners, no gums, no shortcuts. What others call Greek Yogurt, the Greeks simply call Strained Yogurt.
