“Peak Yogurt’s Greek is the best yogurt I’ve ever tasted.” -Sam Mogannam, Owner of Bi-Rite markets
In the Press
VOX: “I found an engineer, Evan Sims, who had quit his job for a high-fat yogurt startup…His cream-infused Greek yogurt has more than twice the calories of regular “full fat” yogurt–and I consumed a tub of it weekly” in “I lost weight by eating lots of bacon and cream. Here’s a scientific explanation for why.” by Gregory Ferenstein
Milkfat from Grassfed Cows is a Superfood
Dairy fat is clean-burning and won’t spike your blood sugar, so it’s a great energy source for those looking for an alternative to carb- and sugar-rich foods. It’s very low in Omega-6 polyunsaturated fat, so it won’t contribute to oxidative stress and inflammation in your body (unlike soy, canola, corn, and most other vegetable oils).
Milkfat is rich in incredibly healthful nutrients that are hard to find elsewhere. Here are our top three:

Help Us End the Tyranny of Sugar-Filled Junk Food Yogurts!
Most other yogurts contain 35-55% of calories as added sugar – no better than other junk foods.
Our solution is the first proudly high-fat unsweetened yogurt.
Simple, Real Yogurt
We only use organic dairy and live yogurt cultures. No thickeners, gums, preservatives, added sweeteners, or other junk.
100% Organic Dairy = Grassfed & Pastured Cows
Organic dairy cows are required by law to get at least one-third of their food from grazing on pasture during the growing season. Fresh grazed grass in the cows’ diet is essential for creating the rich, nutrient-dense cream we’re so proud to make our yogurt with. Organic dairy also does not use GMO feed, antibiotics, or growth hormones.
What is Milk Protein Concentrate? All Greek yogurts are concentrated by either centrifugation (a spinning bowl, basically) or filtration systems. Because we’ve partnered with a small creamery who doesn’t have this equipment (and it’s quite expensive to purchase!), we’re instead using pre-concentrated milk blended with cream and whole milk to create our Triple Cream greek yogurts. Milk protein concentrate is a form of concentrated milk that is very low in lactose. One advantage of using pre-concentrated milk is that our process generates no acid whey–a byproduct which has been a major environmental challenge for other Greek yogurt makers.
