High fat Greek Yogurt? Edmonton

Hi all,

Where can I purchase the highest fat content Greek yogurt? Higher MF% than 10% preferably. Any suggestions or brands would be appreciated. Most dairy is obsessed with low fat but i want some real creamy fatty Greek yogurt.

The highest fat percentage we've been able to find is Krema Greek Style at 11%. Can someone beat that?

Thank you!
A

    You might also want to try labneh (basically a strained, high fat content yogurt). I have gotten it from middle eastern grocery stores like Elsafadi brothers, and the one (name escapes me) on 163 St. and approx. 95 Ave. It's really nice and creamy, with a thick texture. I'm not sure exactly what the fat content is though.

      How high does it go? Highest I have ever seen in the Edmonton area is around 10%.

        Yeah, I was going to say that I think the Krema at 11% is the highest you can get here.

        Also recommend itwillmakeaturd 's idea to go to Planet Organic to get some, they often have a variety of full fat brands and flavours.

        Liberté Méditerranée Plain is really good. It is 10% MF (the flavoured versions are lower), and has great texture and flavour. I eat it on its own and it is available at most supermarkets. Availability is sometimes erratic on the Plain flavour, but you can always get it at Planet Organic for a premium.

          I tried Krema. I like Liberté Méditerranée a lot more. The Krema was too gelatinous and didn't have as much tang to it imo.

          Hmmmmm...have you tried the Italian Centre? Not sure of the fat content, though, but it may be worth a try.
