Egalité, fraternité, yogurt

Posted by mamster on Wednesday, February 20, 2008

We spent the weekend in Vancouver and, as always, found something new and fabulous to eat, aside from Timbits.

This time it was Liberté Méditeranée brand yogurt. It’s sold at Urban Fare and other supermarkets, but there’s a dairy stand at Granville Island with an especially strong selection. The flavors include coconut, mocha, and mango-orange; we tried hazelnut. It has a hazelnut paste on the bottom to stir in, just slightly crunchy. It’s not as thick as Greek yogurt, but it has plenty of milkfat.

It’s made in Quebec and available all over Canada. Apparently you can find it in the Northeastern US, too.

I really never thought I’d get excited about yogurt, but now I eat it all the time. It’s the active probiotic cultures, or possibly the heavy cream.
