We Sampled All of the Greek Yogurts; These Are the Best

"The best Greek yogurt or its alternative had to balance puckery tang with velvety richness. It should be thick and creamy—never chalky, watery, or overly sour."

"Greek yogurt is part of a broader tradition with roots in Southwest Asia and the eastern Mediterranean. Today in the U.S., it's a multibillion-dollar industry."

"Products like Icelandic skyr, Turkish süzme yoğurt, and Levantine labneh are made the same way: by straining whey from plain yogurt to create a thicker, more concentrated, and often tangier product."

"To keep the comparison focused, we excluded low- and reduced-fat varieties, flavored yogurts, and any products fortified with extra protein or made from plant-based milks."

Greek yogurt is known for its creamy texture and high protein content, making it a popular choice for various dishes. A recent taste test evaluated multiple brands, including traditional Greek yogurt and alternatives like skyr. The ideal yogurt should have a balance of tang and richness, being thick and creamy without undesirable qualities. The testing process involved sampling various brands while excluding low-fat and flavored options to ensure a fair comparison.
