The sophisticated and fresh flavor profiles make easy work of appetizers for dinner party guests, and the rich and creamy texture adds a little something special to favorite recipes.”

Bold New Take on an Old-World Favorite

Green Mountain Farms Tzatziki Savory Yogurt Dips are a bold new take on an old-world favorite. In the United States, Tzatziki is enjoyed primarily as a sauce for gyros. But throughout the Mediterranean, Tzatziki is enjoyed as a delicious appetizer dip, a flavorful condiment for vegetables and a light sauce for grilled meats. Today, Green Mountain Farms has built upon this time-honored culinary tradition of fresh flavors and versatility by crafting a Tzatziki recipe that is perfect for adventurous American palates. The result is a whole new level of savory yogurt goodness.

Each batch of Green Mountain Farms Tzatziki Savory Yogurt Dips starts with fresh dairy from New England farms. Vegetables are then added, and the results are unique flavors that satisfy consumer demand for delectable, healthy and versatile foods. Unlike competitors’ products, Green Mountain Farms Tzatziki is made with real non-fat yogurt - no sour cream, and live and active yogurt cultures for a unique Tzatziki flavor experience. Kof-K Kosher Certified as permitted.
