BOONTON, N.J., Aug. 1, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- While Greek yogurt has been the source of category buzz for the past few years, the trend tide is turning toward European-style yogurts – for those who desire a creamy, smooth texture with fresh fruit blended right in. Leading this trend is Emmi Roth USA, the US subsidiary of the premier Swiss dairy company, whose Swiss-style yogurt is made with all natural, high quality ingredients in unique flavors.
Early on, Swiss yogurt from Emmi was set apart by flavors that could not be found anywhere else in the dairy aisle – like Apricot, Pink Grapefruit and Green Apple – which can be found next to their more traditional flavors. Last year, Emmi Roth USA updated their Swiss-style yogurt with a new formula that has more protein (8-10 grams per six-ounce cup) and less sugar. Emmi Swiss-style Yogurt made with rbST-free milk and fresh fruit is creamy, all natural and low in fat.
"Yogurt is a large and growing category, particularly European yogurt, and our high quality ingredients, precise Swiss formula and distinctive flavors have set Emmi apart as a leader in the European yogurt trend," said Guido Kaelin, Vice President of Marketing, Emmi of Switzerland.
Available in 11 flavorful, all-natural varieties, Emmi Swiss-style Yogurt can be found at local grocers and online at EmmiRothUSA.com – along with high-quality Swiss dairy cheeses and fondues from Emmi Roth USA.
