What started as a yogurt shop in Pike Place Market in 2013 is now available in Nugget Markets! Ellenos Real Greek Yogurt is handcrafted, traditional Greek yogurt perfected over generations. Each batch starts with fresh rBST-free milk and all whole food ingredients like real fruit purees. They’ve perfected their craft with family recipes and a five-day straining process for delicious results.

This dreamy yogurt is so decadent you can revel in it as a dessert, but you don’t have to feel guilty eating it for breakfast. Build a yogurt sundae with your favorite flavor plus some sweet treats thrown in, or a breakfast parfait with fresh fruit and your favorite granola. Their Vanilla Bean flavor is such a beautiful balance of creamy and sweet, it goes perfectly in this recipe for individual mini cheesecakes.
