Does Greek yogurt have a different consistency?

What store do you find it at? I don't think I've ever seen/noticed it before on the shelves.

Look in the yogurt section at the regular grocery store....Here we have a brand called Fage or Chobani. Make sure it says Greek Yogurt - it's usually at the end or beginning of the "yogurts" - know what I mean? It's more pricey but worth it and the non-fat is just as great as the low fat.....Oh I hope you try it - I love it!

the greek yoghurt I know is double cream yoghurt, I wonder what they use to make it so thick and creamy if it's low fat or no fat?

...or you can make your own buy placing yogurt into a muslin and placing in a bowl in the fridge overnight.

The whey content will drip onto the latter and you'll have a very thick yogurt.

"Straining the Whey
More potentially good news for low-carbers: It turns out that most of the lactose in milk and yogurt is in the whey. Furthermore, it is easy to strain much of the whey out of yogurt, and at least one company, FAGE, sells strained Greek-style yogurt. To strain the whey out of yogurt yourself, put a coffee filter in a strainer or colander and put that over a bowl in the refrigerator overnight. What will be left is sometimes called "yogurt cheese", which has a consistency that can reach the thickness of soft cream cheese if enough whey drains off. This can be eaten any way you want or mixed with other ingredients for foods such as dips. How many carb grams can you deduct for straining? There's no really great way to tell for sure, but FAGE Classic Greek yogurt claims it has 6 grams of carb for a 7-oz. serving. Another advantage to straining yogurt is that the concentrated yogurt has more protein per cup."
