Foodtown Greek Non-Fat Yogurt
What it is
This is a thick and creamy yogurt made from milk that has been strained to remove most of its whey. This straining process results in a denser texture and a tangier flavor compared to regular yogurt. It is made without fat, offering a lighter option for those seeking a less rich dairy product. The fermentation process also contributes to its characteristic taste and texture.

For savory dishes, it can thicken stews or curries.
