AtlantaFresh Artisan Creamery, a two year old Atlanta based small batch producer of exquisite hand made Greek Yogurt, will begin selling its full line of “World Class” Greek Yogurts starting December 3rd, 2011 in the Greenville, South Carolina market. Initially, Whole Foods Market will be the exclusive source of AtlantaFresh Greek yogurt in Greenville. AtlantaFresh very recently was awarded its interstate dairy license by the FDA allowing the Georgia based company to sell their yogurt nationwide. Whole Foods Market South Region was instrumental for the creamery in receiving the FDA license by making available expansion capital to AtlantaFresh Creamery as part of its Local Producer Loan Program. AtlantaFresh is proud to be the first and only local Southeastern creamery supplying Greenville with local Greek Yogurt.
“Everything we make is in small batches by hand, “says AtlantaFresh founder and “Big Cheese” Ron Marks. “For fresh dairy products, great milk and getting your products to market as soon as they’re made is the key to quality,” he says. “AtlantaFresh yogurt is a real treat. You can taste the quality difference.”
Fresh, Local Milk Means Amazing Flavor, Richness
AtlantaFresh prides itself on using only local milk from nearby Georgia dairy farms with humanely treated, fully pastured grass-fed cows. AtlantaFresh receives milk from its partner dairy farmers the same day the milk is milked from the cow and within a few days is sending ultra-fresh artisan Greek yogurt out to Greenville and other Southeastern markets.
Traditional European Method
Commercial dairies produce yogurt in a fully automated process, thousands of gallons at a time. AtlantaFresh makes their yogurt in a low-tech, old world style in 100 gallon batches.
“We turn AtlantaFresh yogurt around in a few days, using an extremely traditional European style, relatively unique among yogurts in the States,” explains Marks. “Most yogurts are ‘cup-set’. Ours is batch pasteurized, naturally cultured, and then has most of the whey strained off for a remarkably smooth and full-flavored yogurt. As a true traditional Greek style yogurt, our tart and tangy full flavor is the result of fresh culturing every batch to a lower acidity. It takes us three gallons of milk to make one gallon of finished yogurt.
Real Greek Yogurt Is Healthier
☛ Very high in bulgaricus and acidophilus—key probiotic cultures. Its freshness gives AtlantaFresh yogurt tremendous health benefits, compared to most other yogurts on the shelf. Every batch is newly cultured and the freshness of the product delivers a very active and prolific set of beneficial probiotic activity to your system.
☛ A high-protein food: 15 grams of protein in every 6 oz. serving.
☛ All flavors are available in fat-free and 2% varieties. Plain yogurt also available in Whole Milk.
☛ The texture of AtlantaFresh yogurt is rich, thick and luxurious, with no added starches or thickeners. One of the many benefits of the straining process that removes most of the whey.
Come this Sunday as my family makes its weekly Whole Foods run, this will be in the shopping cart. My wife lives by way of Greek yogurt and although I personally do not like to just eat this stuff, I do however love to make home-made ice cream with Greek yogurt as a healthier alternative to all the butterfat.
