Long before "Chobani," "Oikos," and "Trader Joe's" hit the greek yogurt scene there was Fage. Fage, which was made in Greece and imported to America until 2005 is the original greek yogurt. They opened a manufacturing facility in NY in 2005 to meet the US demand for their yogurt. Fage is the lone ranger of greek yogurt. I tried my first Fage yogurt almost 5 years ago and I completely fell in love.
Greek yogurt is strained yogurt that has most of the whey removed. What is left after all that straining? Creamy deliciousness. Greek yogurt has more protein than regular yogurt so you will feel satisfied longer. Trust me. Satisfaction is all you are going to feel after you eat one of these babies.
These yogurts are on advantage buy for $1.25 at Publix through 3/8/10. They can be had for a mere .25 cents a piece (a far cry from the $1.89 price tag that they had last year). Why the high price you might ask? Well, greek yogurt is much more concentrated (so to speak) than regular yogurt. When I make my own yogurt cheese (which is essentially greek yogurt) it takes almost 8 cups of regular plain yogurt strained to make one full cup of greek yogurt.

My favorite flavor is honey. The honey comes from Greece and it is unlike anything that you have ever eaten. Floral, aromatic and unique. I have ridiculous cravings for this honey. Go buy some.
You can thank me in the morning.

Hey Kelly, I just discovered Greek Yogurt last summer and LOVE it! The Publix by our house has been running out of stock lately (and I don't think they even stock Fage, but I need to ask them about it), but we've been putting the Vanilla flavored stuff in our smoothies and eating with granola!! Good Stuff!!
So, I bought 6 of them. Wow! They are RICH! But poor Jeremiah can't have them. He broke out big time. The same thing happened with the Stoneyfield whole milk yogurts. I guess that means more for me!
I got some of this the other day. I LOVE IT. You are SO right about the honey. Spectacular. I registered on their website, and was able to print 3 Q's for it and all have diff't PIN's. YAY! I will be buying more this week. =)
Hey everyone. Glad to see you guys got some greek. I may post a recipe later for making your own as it is very satisfying to create this at home. I used to make some every week and gobble it down immediately.
A - there are a couple of great yogurt cookbooks (both plain and greek) out there that you might want to add to your list. I'll post those too when I post the recipe.
Carissa - glad you tried them. The whole milk version is really rich; a definite treat. My Publix is only carrying the 2% now (bummer). I love the whole milk version the best.
Spaid - that honey is incroyable.
Great! Thanks! I love Greek yogurt.
