Greek yogurt
(Στραγγιστό γιαούρτι, Strained yogurt, Concentrated yogurt, Thick yogurt, Greek-style yogurt)
Greek yogurt is a type of strained yogurt that is denser and more creamy than regular yogurt. It is made from cultured and fermented milk that is strained, usually through fine mesh strainers or cloth bags, until the whey is separated from the solids and the yogurt reaches its desired consistency and texture.
The result is a white, creamy, soft, and smooth yogurt with a clean, slightly tart flavor. It is easily spreadable and incorporated into various dishes. Strained yogurts are known under different names, and they are common in numerous Balkan and Middle Eastern countries.
Regional varieties may slightly vary in production and general characteristics. Greek yogurt is often lauded for its nutritional benefits. It has higher protein content, less sugar, carbs, and lower lactose content, making it a more suitable option for those who are lactose intolerant.
