Sainsbury's Authentic Greek Yoghurt
What it is
This is a thick and creamy cultured dairy product made from milk. It undergoes a straining process that removes much of the whey, resulting in a denser texture and a richer flavor compared to regular yogurt. Its characteristic tang comes from the fermentation of milk sugars by live bacterial cultures. This yogurt is a versatile ingredient, enjoyed on its own or as a base for various culinary creations.
How people cook with it
It is a staple in many kitchens, used in both sweet and savory dishes.

This authentic Greek yogurt can be enjoyed straight from the pot as a satisfying breakfast or snack. It is excellent as a base for smoothies, adding a creamy texture and a subtle tang. In cooking, it can be stirred into sauces and curries to add richness and a cooling counterpoint to spice. It also works well as a binder in baked goods or as a base for dips and dressings. For a simple dessert, top it with fruit and honey.
