Straus Family Creamery Organic Plain Nonfat Yogurt: What exactly is European-style yogurt? Having seen this labeling on Trader Joe's and now Strauss Family Creamery yogurt, I decided to investigate, discovering conflicting claims that Trader Joe's European-style yogurt just may come from Straus Family Creamery. Regardless, these sources did not clarify what is meant by European-style, but I can say that it's more runny than regular yogurt, yet still fully solid (not watery). The flavor is also pleasantly tart and easily balanced with just ... (read more) 4.0/5.0

Voskos Original plain Greek yogurt: This plain yogurt has a tart, savory flavor that makes it ideal for dips and sauces to pair with dishes. It has a substantial, thick consistency that's much better than your average Greek yogurt. Even better, it's less expensive than Fage and similar alternatives, making it a great value. Purchased from Berkeley Bowl. 4.0/5.0

Pavel's Plain Nonfat Yogurt: This was my first time trying Russian Yogurt, which I don't think is actually a distinct regional style but rather a marketing term used to describe a particular way of making yogurt (Googling the term "Russian Yogurt" only brings up the Pavel brand). The yogurt forgoes any stabilizers and emulsifiers, which gives it a varied texture similar to cottage cheese. While I did like that the yogurt was more tart than most plain yogurts I've purchased, its texture would definitely take some getti... (read more) 3.0/5.0

Trader Joe's nonfat plain Greek yogurt: Of all the store branded Greek yogurt I've tried, TJ's is the best value. The yogurt is thick with a neutral flavor that is a great base for any fruit or toppings you care to add. 4.0/5.0

Nancy's plain soy yogurt: Oddly, the plain flavor of this product has more sugar than either the blueberry or strawberry flavors I tried, with 15g per cup. With the plain yogurt, the true flavor of the product really comes through, and it's not particularly pleasant. It tastes like a highly concentrated piece of tofu and, for some reason, had a savory aftertaste despite the sugar. I found myself adding honey to mask the strong flavor. 2.0/5.0

Seven Stars Farm organic lowfat plain yogurt: This yogurt comes from a dairy farm in Chester County, PA and has a tangy flavor. Because no artificial thickness are added to the yogurt, it quickly develops an uneven, clumpy texture after opening. I found the texture to be slightly off putting but also wondered if this is just what "natural" yogurt tastes like. Until I try others like this, I can't say for sure. 3.0/5.0
