Mehadrin Presents Real Greek Yogurt For the first time ever, Mehadrin fans are about to enjoy delicious Greek yogurt, a perfect product the community will love. Larry Farkas, CEO of Mehadrin, confided: “This has been one exciting year. We have devoted days, weeks and months researching the best method, the authentic recipe needed to produce a quality, carefully perfected yogurt—delicious and healthy. It totally consumed us, but we know it will have been worthwhile. “We have invested in expensive, specialized machinery required to manufacture an excellent product,” he smiles. “We know yogurt-lovers will rave about it. It’s not only about Greek yogurt. It’s about putting out a tasty and nourishing product.” The 6 oz. cups are available in ten popular flavors. They are produced with
fresh, bursting-with-flavor fruit. Enjoy plain, vanilla, cappuccino, black cherry, strawberry, blueberry, honey, pomegranate, peach and blood-orange. Cappuccino, vanilla and plain are also available in economical 32 oz. containers. “Even the farms that supply our fruit were visited to reassure us that we are getting the very best. We want yogurt lovers to enjoy the tangy taste of fruit at the peak of ripeness in their yogurt,” says Larry. What’s the current rage about Greek yogurt versus traditional yogurt? Going Greek is the dairy trend and this distinctive option has made its grand appearance in refrigerator shelves in groceries and supermarkets around the country. Most appreciate the taste--not as sweet as regular yogurt, yet definitely tangier and creamier. Is it healthier?

Both yogurts are healthy, but Greek yogurt prepared the authentic way, is strained extensively to eliminate liquids like whey, lactose and sugar, giving it a thick texture and a better taste. It may also be a good choice for those suffering from lactose-intolerance. Greek yogurt is high in protein—20 grams vs. 9 grams in regular yogurt, and low in carbohydrates which curbs hunger and lets you feel satisfied longer.
Mehadrin’s real Greek yogurt is produced authentically utilizing centrifuge technology, which gives our Greek a silky-smooth and creamy consistency. Mehadrin hopes to introduce a lighter version in the near future. Look out for Mehadrin’s Greek yogurt in supermarkets everywhere. One taste and you will understand our slogan: “When it’s Real, the taste speaks for itself.”
