What is the difference between Greek yogurt and European style yogurt?
November 21, 2009 - 2:17 am
Actually, I have heard of several other kinds too, including custard style and just plain old yogurt…so what’s the difference?
Greek yogurt reminds me of sour cream, why is that?
Greek yogurt is usually made from cow’s milk or a combination of sheep and cow’s milk, and it is strained, unlike European style yogurt that is more watery.
Greek yogurt is a type of natural yogurt. You can find similar products in other Balkan countries as well. Moreover, only live active culture is used (yeast) and there is no sugar added, no gelatin, no preservatives, well, no additives.
Greek style yogurt isn’t the same. It may contain additives, but it differs to european style yogurt as it is strained.

Greek yogurt has the whey strained out of it, rendering much thicker than regular yogurt.

Greek yogurt is much thicker (has the consistency of sour cream) while European yogurt has less substance.
