Greek Yogurt

Cultural Context

Originating in Greece, Greek yogurt has been a staple for centuries, known for its rich texture and tangy flavor. Traditionally, it was made by straining regular yogurt to remove excess whey, resulting in a thicker product. It is commonly enjoyed with honey, fruits, or as a base for savory dips like tzatziki. Today, Greek yogurt is popular worldwide, appreciated for its versatility and health benefits, often used in smoothies, dressings, and desserts.
