I just spent the past few days at a natural foods trade show in Boston. The show was jam packed with retailers and buyers. Even though the crowd might have been different than a lot of the consumer shows I go to, one thing was definitely the same; the age old question of what makes Chobani Greek Yogurt different than other yogurts.
I must get asked this question 100 times at each show, which means that it’s a good question!
So besides the love and passion that goes into Chobani, what makes it different than the runnier, conventional yogurts out there on the shelves you might wonder?
The biggest difference is how we make it. You see, all yogurt starts out in a similar way. You add starter cultures to milk, which ferment the lactose naturally found in the milk to make yogurt. Now this is where regular yogurt companies stop. They package this yogurt and they’re good to go.
At Chobani, we take this process one step further: After adding the cultures to create yogurt, we strain it so that the excess liquid is removed. This process is what separates Chobani from the crowd and is why our yogurt is so awesomely think and creamy. Plus straining Chobani gives our Greek yogurt a few other advantages over regular yogurts:
* Two times more protein
* Half the sodium
* Less lactose
* Fewer carbohydrates and sugars
Pretty cool, huh? Next time you’re at a dinner party and run out of things to talk about, you can spout out the differences between Chobani Greek Yogurt and regular yogurt and be the star of the show!

Does Chobani use milk with GBH to make the yogurt?
We were regular yogurt fans until we tried Chobani Greek Yogurt- my whole family is hooked! I buy about four lb. containers a week it costs alot but when it comes to eating good things I try to keep it in the budget. This summer we mixed it with fresh peaches and a bit of sugar and froze it in the ice cream freezer- amazingly super creamy ice cream came out! We make it into ranch dressing, stir in dip mixes for chips, slice up apples and stir in cinnamon. Thanks for making great stuff!
Whats the difference between Greek Yoghurt and Lebne?
Chobani is a great treat anytime of the day! Add a tablespoon of honey and some sunflower seeds or other nuts, and it’s divine!
GREAT YOGURT!!

I have been eating yogurt for years and have been eating chobani since the tv program “how its made”. I thing its probably the best yogurt I have ever tasted.
so great! love the product. the plain is my favorite so you can add goodies.
I’ve been enjoying Chobani for over a year now and no longer buy the watery, sugar-laden, artificial yogurts anymore. Turned my co-worker onto it and now it’s her family’s favorite. Love the new pomegranate flavor!
Just tried for the first time – loved it! I’ll be switching brands from now on. Only tried one flavor but I’ll try them all now. Loved the creamy texture.
I love Chobani! I would love to try the new flavors but haven’t been able to find them yet, the search continues!
10% of your profits to charitys that’s great.
