Greek yogurt
is a yogurt that has been strained to remove most of its whey, resulting in a thicker
consistency than
unstrained yogurt, while preserving yogurt's distinctive sour taste. Like many types of yogurt, strained
yogurt is often
made from milk that has been enriched by boiling off some of its water content, or by adding extra butterfat
and
powdered milk. In Europe and North America, it is often made with low-fat or fat-free yogurt. In Iceland a
similar
product named skyr is produced.
