What is Yogurt--and where did it come from?
Yogurt was first made, we believe, about the time that goats were first domesticated. This occurred in Mesopotamia about 5000 BC. Making yogurt appears to have been a "happy accident" that occurred when milk, stored in gourds in that hot climate, formed a curd. An adventurous soul sampled the result and pronounced it good! The result was yogurt-most likely the world's first cheese!

Not all Yogurts are "Created Equal"

With over 30 years of expertise, we are dedicated to producing the highest quality, best-tasting yogurt made, while maintaining the integrity of its health benefits. Our Secret—A time-honored, natural production process—the small batch, traditional Mediterranean method! This method allows the live cultures time to work naturally and convert milk products to yogurt throughout the process. They are not added later as some manufacturers do.

All our yogurt products naturally contain the four major cultures necessary for the greatest health benefits:

L. Acidophilus, Bifidus, S. Thermophilus and L. Bulgaricus.
