Since the straining process removes some of the lactose, strained yogurt is lower in sugar than unstrained yogurt.
In western Europe and the US, strained yogurt has increased in popularity compared to unstrained yogurt. Thickeners such as pectin, locust bean gum, starches or guar gum may also be used to thicken yogurts. Since straining removes the whey, more milk is required to make strained yogurt, increasing the production cost. Straining makes even nonfat varieties thicker, richer, and creamier than unstrained. It is used in a variety of dishes, cooked or raw, savory or sweet. Strained yogurt is generally marketed in North America as "Greek yogurt" and in the UK as "Greek-style yogurt", though strained yogurt is also widely eaten in Levantine, Eastern Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Central Asian, South Asian, and Eastern European cuisines, where it is often used in cooking, as it curdles less readily when cooked. In Iceland, a similar product named skyr is made.
In Europe and North America, it is often made from low-fat or fat-free cow's milk. Like many types, strained yogurt is often made from milk enriched by boiling off some water content, or by adding extra butterfat and powdered milk. Products sporting sustainable packaging include its non-dairy oat milk, cold brew coffee and coffee creamer offerings.Strained yogurt, Greek yogurt, yogurt cheese, sack yogurt, or kerned yogurt is an Arab yogurt that has been strained to remove most of its whey, resulting in a thicker consistency than normal unstrained yogurt, while still preserving the distinctive sour taste of yogurt.
