Astro Original Greek Yogourt

Parmalat Canada is thrilled to announce that its Astro Original Greek yogourt brand has won the 2012 Best New Product Award in the Yogourt category. The 2012 Best New Product Award winners were determined from the BrandSpark International Canadian Shopper Study, which surveyed more than 53,000 independent consumers who voted in 53 categories. 

Astro has been providing great tasting dairy products to Canadians for over 30 years. From the beginning, they have helped consumers maintain balance in their lives with products true to yogourt roots.  They have kept up with the industry and consumer needs by creating new and exciting product lines.

Astro Original Greek yogourt is available in Canada wherever Astro products are sold, in both a regular and fat free version. The regular 500 g format is available in three different flavours (Plain, Honey and Strawberry) and the fat free 500 g format is available in Strawberry and Peach flavours. More information can be found at www.astro.ca. 

Astro Original Greek provides two times more protein than Parmalat Canada's regular Astro Original yogourt products; it is an excellent source of calcium, contains eight essential nutrients and is made from natural ingredients.

Interest in Greek yogourt is a rapidly growing trend in Canada as consumers look for a yogourt product that has superior taste, significant health benefits and is also versatile in use. Whether eaten on its own, used as a base for a favourite dip or spread or as an ingredient for cooking and baking recipes, Astro Original Greek yogourt is the clear choice for consumers.

Parmalat Canada sent me a gift basket filled with goodies this week! Included in the beautiful wicker basket was yogourt parfait glasses, yogourt bowls, yogourt spoons, a Cuisinart smart stick hand blender, ice cube trays and coupons to redeem for Astro Original Greek yogourt.  I bought 1 of each regular flavour (honey, plain and strawberry) to try out.

I am very happy to say that we liked the Astro Original Greek yogourt. My oldest had some of the strawberry with breakfast and he really enjoyed the taste. I made some yogourt pops (using the shaped ice cube trays) with the strawberry as well and they were a hit with the kids in the nice weather yesterday! The yogourt is smooth and creamy and, most importantly, tastes great!

I am looking forward to trying out some recipes using the yogourt - so stay tuned to the blog to see how they turn out.
