Selex Greek Coffee Yogurt
What it is
This is a dairy product that combines the thick, strained texture characteristic of Greek yogurt with the distinct flavor of coffee. It is typically made from milk that has been cultured with specific bacteria, then strained to remove most of the whey, resulting in a denser consistency. The addition of coffee creates a unique taste profile, offering a creamy and slightly bitter experience.
