Ninth Avenue International Foods sells all sorts of groceries but when it comes to prepared food (all stored in a little refrigerator by the register), it’s mainly Greek or Mediterranean here. Hummus, tzatziki, spinach pie, and Greek yogurt.

And it’s that Greek yogurt that TONY wrote about and the stuff I came for. We ordered almost a pound (it was only $6 a pound) to go and I decided to enjoy it at breakfast with some fresh berries.

I don’t know what I’m going to do with a pound of this stuff. It’s incredibly rich and thick. The yogurt has a very subtle sweetness and a strong tangy tartness.  When mixed with berries, it was a bit reminiscent of sour cream and the sweetness of the berries brought the white stuff to life.

I think some granola would also be nice for texture and I may try that later in the week. This sheep’s milk, live-cultured yogurt will last me a little while. It’s so rich and thick that I can only eat a little at a time. Maybe if I invited over all my European friends to help out. And my Middle Eastern friends. And my Asian friends. You get the point.

Would Ninth Avenue International Foods’ Greek Yogurt make my Top 100 of the year? It’s a bit too thick for my tastes but I can see how this can be a great jumping off point for a hearty breakfast or a rich topping. Nonetheless, it only gets a 6 out of 10 in my book.
