The Vanilla Bean Ellenos Real Greek Yogurt has been announced by the brand as the first new flavor from the brand in two years that has been painstakingly developed to ensure the best quality possible. Available exclusively at Whole Foods locations in Oregon and Washington, the yogurt is made with a traditional family recipe and took many months for the brand to get the flavor profile just right. The yogurt is made with vanilla beans sourced from Tahiti and Madagascar that offer the smooth richness of vanilla along with subtle floral notes to balance it off.
The Vanilla Bean Ellenos Real Greek Yogurt will come in two size options including a single-serve and larger variety, and speaks to the rising popularity of artisan products as part of the consumer return to provenance.
