I began eating Fage in 2005 when it was still being imported from Greece. It was a very different product to what most Americans know as “yogurt” from the typical grocery store, which is a gelatinous pudding-like confection of chemical additives and highly sweetened fruit/jam. The imported Fage was thick, very creamy and had a pleasantly tart tangy flavor. Once production began in the US, the flavor changed drastically and although the texture is the same, the tang of real, natural yogurt is gone and it is bland, boring, and denatured for the American palate. Not everyone enjoys bland food nor overly sugared fare. I have written twice to Fage to express my observation, no response from the company. Very disappointing. I wish the imported version were still available somewhere.

I did the same thing–I tried to dig the honey out of the little receptacle (not very successfully–I couldn’t get it all). I didn’t realize the container folded like that. Duh.

I’m not sure I’m that crazy about it, other than the honey flavor. It tastes a bit sour cream-y to me. I think I prefer the Greek Gods greek yogurt, which is a different thickness entirely. (Maybe it’s not real Greek style yogurt, I don’t know.) My favorite though is just regular (full-fat, sadly!) natural style yogurt. Mountain High brand is spectacular. I don’t know if it’s available everywhere though.

What is the difference it is still yogurt right? I think they have the same calorie content.

Glad you gave it another try! I buy the plain 2%, and use it for sour cream. When I want a sweet treat I add some pure maple syrup: absolute heavenly deliciousness!

After this review I bought some to use in a recipe that needed ‘firm’ yogurt. Had to get 0% since Meijer’s other versions were expired! I think fat content would have helped the recipe but overall it was good, and as a vegetarian I’m always happy to get another easy protein source.

I don’t like yogurt much but for the potato/pea/panir curry, Fage worked well!

@Sarah – here is my hummous recipe in case you dont get a response.

Rinse two cans of chickpeas.

throw them into a food processor.

add two tablespoons tahini.

lots of lemon juice (maybe half a cup or so)

a fresh garlic clove (or more if you like it)

tablespoon cumin powder.

salt.

blend it all together

if you need more liquid then add water or olive oil.

super yummy…toy around with it until you get it right for yourself. none of the measurements are exact.

For those of us on WW. Fage is definately 2 points-there is no fiber.

I like to add splenda and vanilla extract or cinnamon.

It works great a dressing mixed in with spices.

I add a drizzle of honey or agave nectar to it, and then sprinkle the top with some Kashi Go Lean crunch. It’s my morning snack.

I’m a big Fage fan, and my 3-year-old daughter loves it even more than I do.

My favorite is their 5%, which is super hard to find. But, I’m working on losing a few pounds, so lately I’ve been eating the 0%, which is almost as good, when sweetened with a little agave nectar.
