Set of 6 Koukakis Greek Yogurts 500 g
Koukakis – Traditional Greek Thick Yogurt 10% - 500 g
This is the type of yogurt that is "always" in the fridge in Greece. Thick, creamy, with a full flavor – good for both sweet and savory dishes. Koukakis 10% yogurt is made from Greek cow's milk and has a simple composition, making it excellent for cooking: from breakfasts, through sauces, to desserts.
Taste and Consistency
Thick, creamy, and distinctly milky. 10% fat gives it a full flavor and a "meaty" texture that holds well on a spoon. This yogurt serves as a great base – it doesn't disappear in a dish, but rather builds texture.
Origin and Composition
Producer/brand: Koukakis. Origin: Greece.
Ingredients: pasteurized whole cow's milk, cream (from milk), milk proteins, yogurt bacterial cultures (including L. bulgaricus, S. thermophilus).

Milk.
Applications
- breakfast: with honey, fruit, and nuts
