Frequently Asked Questions About FAGE Greek Yogurt
Is FAGE Greek Yogurt healthy?
Yes, plain FAGE Greek Yogurt provides protein and live yogurt cultures. Its thick texture comes from straining, and the plain version is different from flavored varieties, which may have additional ingredients.
What is FAGE Greek Yogurt made of?
Plain FAGE Greek Yogurt is made with milk and live yogurt cultures, then strained for its thick texture. It is minimally processed; ingredients can differ across flavored or otherwise varied products, so check the specific tub.
How is FAGE Greek Yogurt different from regular yogurt?
FAGE Greek Yogurt is strained, making it thicker and more concentrated in protein than regular yogurt. The firmer texture works well in dips and spoonable breakfasts, but it may not behave exactly like regular yogurt in every recipe.
Does FAGE Greek Yogurt contain lactose?
Yes, FAGE Greek Yogurt contains lactose; straining may reduce lactose compared with some regular yogurts, but it does not make the product lactose-free. If you have lactose intolerance, try a small amount or choose a labeled lactose-free option.
Can you use FAGE Greek Yogurt instead of sour cream?
Yes, plain FAGE Greek Yogurt can replace sour cream in dips, toppings, and many recipes. Its thick, tangy texture makes it a practical swap, though it can separate if boiled, so stir it in gently off the heat.
Can you cook with FAGE Greek Yogurt?
Yes, FAGE Greek Yogurt works in marinades, sauces, and some baked goods. For hot dishes, temper it with a little warm liquid and stir it in near the end; boiling can cause the yogurt to curdle.
Why is there liquid on top of FAGE Greek Yogurt?
The liquid on top of FAGE Greek Yogurt is whey separating from the yogurt, which is normal. Stir it back in for a smoother texture, or pour it off if you prefer the yogurt thicker.
How long does FAGE Greek Yogurt last after opening?
Keep opened FAGE Greek Yogurt covered in the refrigerator and use a clean spoon each time. Follow the date and storage directions on the tub; discard it if you notice an unusual smell, color, or texture.
Can you freeze FAGE Greek Yogurt?
Yes, you can freeze FAGE Greek Yogurt, but thawing may make it grainy or watery as the texture separates. It is usually better used in smoothies, sauces, or cooked dishes after thawing than eaten plain.
Does FAGE Greek Yogurt have live cultures?
Yes, FAGE Greek Yogurt is made with live yogurt cultures. These cultures ferment the milk and give yogurt its tangy flavor; the specific culture details may vary by product, so look at the package for the variety you have.

What is FAGE Greek Yogurt?
FAGE Greek Yogurt is a plain, thick, strained yogurt from the Greek dairy brand, made with milk and live cultures. Its dense, creamy texture and gentle tang make it easy to enjoy by the spoonful. In Greece and elsewhere, it is commonly served at breakfast or as a snack with fruit, honey, nuts or oats; it also works well in dips and alongside savoury dishes.
