Questions and answers
Is The Real Greek™ a Greek yogurt.
No. The Real Greek™ is Greek quark, not Greek yogurt. Its thick, creamy texture suits many uses where you might choose Greek yogurt.
How is The Real Greek™ made?
The Real Greek™ is Greek quark crafted using quark-style production methods — coagulation, straining, and texture work. It is not classified as Greek yogurt.
What makes The Real Greek™ texture distinctive.
A dense texture, a spoon that stands, milky freshness, a light tang, and a very creamy mouthfeel.
How do you get such a thick texture.
Through coagulation, draining, and working the curd, using a quark-style process. This creates the distinctive density of our Greek quark.
You mention rennet. What does it do.
Rennet helps structure the milk coagulation. It is a classic approach in cheesemaking. Here it supports a very creamy, stable texture.
What about plant based coagulation.
There are plant based coagulants that can help set the milk. Depending on the recipe, they help achieve a dense, creamy structure.
Does The Real Greek™ use the same cultures as traditional Greek yogurt.
The Real Greek™ uses dairy cultures including Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus. These cultures are also used in the separate Greek yogurt category; The Real Greek™ remains Greek quark.
If it is made like quark, why use dairy cultures.
Dairy cultures provide fresh, tangy aromatic notes. The quark-style process builds The Real Greek™ texture.
