FAGE Yogurt 2% - 100% Delish

OK, so it's sort of random to stick a yogurt review in here when I really want to talk about perfume, but I just tried FAGE Greek yogurt and I was pleasantly surprised about how good it was so I feel compelled to make a note!

I received a coupon from BzzAgent to try this brand. I had heard of it, but there have been so many entries into the Greek yogurt market in the last year that I vaguely had the idea that it was one of the many copycat type yogurts attempting to cash in on the Greek yogurt trend. It is so disappointing to me that when something wonderful is discovered by the masses, the giant food conglomerates have to dive into the market and ruin it with crappy knockoffs to satisfy the factory farm-fed, cheap food aficionados. But that's a whole different rant...

Anyway, I could not have been more wrong. According to Wikipedia and the FAGE website, this Greek dairy has been around since 1926. I enjoyed reading about the FAGE story:

But the real point is how great this yogurt is - I think it has been a well kept secret. I wasn't even sure of where I could buy this brand, but it turned out to be available at my local grocery store. I don't mind going out of the way for great food products, and shop weekly at our local co-op as well as patronizing a "regular" grocery store, but I was happy to see it on the shelf at the grocery. I first discovered the joys of authentic Greek yogurt by trying The Greek Gods Hermes Greek Yogurt. Anything else really paled next to this brand, but I have to say that the FAGE held its own as far as taste and creamy firm texture. I like to use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream (as well as for snacks and breakfast) and even the 2% paired well with my Cinco de Mayo taco dinner.

In short, this yogurt is a winner. Accept no substitutions for your good quality Greek yogurt. It is nice to know that another great brand is out there for me.

I'll get to that perfume talk after breakfast! ...Mmmm FAGE yogurt with granola and strawberries drizzled with a bit of honey.
