"The production of Oikos Organic 0% Fat Greek style yogurt is overseen by Euphrates Master Yogurt Maker, Mustafa Dogan. Mustafa is well-known overseas, where yogurt connoisseurs follow a favorite yogurt master from one yogurt company to another, just as one might follow a favorite chef.
"The true Greek yogurt is strained," says Hamdi Ulukaya, Euphrates President and a third-generation maker of Mediterranean foods. "The technique is from Europe and there is a big tradition behind it. To make Greek yogurt, you take something away. You do not add anything to thicken it. It is pure, clean, simple, and has been made this way for hundreds of years."
Oikos Organic Greek style yogurt reflects that tradition as a tangy, incredibly thick and creamy yogurt that is naturally high in protein and lower in carbohydrates and sugar than regular yogurts. And while Oikos Organic relies on overseas recipes for its authentic taste, it's made here in the United States.
