Dannon Nonfat Greek Yogurt
What it is
This is a thick and creamy yogurt made from milk that has been strained to remove most of the whey. This straining process results in a denser texture and a tangier flavor compared to regular yogurt. It is made with nonfat milk, meaning it contains very little fat. The fermentation process uses live and active cultures, which contribute to its characteristic taste and texture.
How people cook with it
