Liberté Yogurt: My Holy Grail of Dairy Products
Liberte is my weekend yogurt when I am very very lucky, which means when the local cheese store has stocked its tiny yogurt case with the plum/walnut or the peach/passionfruit. It is SO indulgent... right up there with having a whole-milk latte. Better, even.

Yogurt-maker here too - I think I have the same machine she does, I recognize the jars. I make plain whole-milk yogurt and eat it with blueberries and a spoonful of maple syrup. Om nom nom.

Serious Sandwiches: Ignatius Grocery's Sautéed Shrimp Remoulade Po' Boy
Oh, man. That looks even better than Crabby Jack's duck debris, which is my personal Great Sandwich In The Sky.
Overused Food Words
"Source" as an active verb - as in, "He's sourcing amazing herbs from a little farm he stumbled over." Derisively insider-ish and pretentious.

having tried different liberte flavors- I have something slightly blasphemous to add: I might prefer Liberte's yogurt over most ice creams.

@dmarina you can definitely make raw milk yogurt, but you have to watch the temperature very closely. I found some instructions online a few months ago.

My aunt is in town from India, so she makes homemade yogurt. It is so yummy...and, ironically, I had it with rhubarb compote today, some homemade stuff that a friend brought over yesterday. Perfect.

I love it! It's almost a different product when made at home - much thicker and creamier. Plus chopped mango or a bit of There's a special version we make for holidays, combining condensed milk, yogurt, and water. Yum!

You are 100% right about Liberte! Plum/walnut and peach/passionfruit are my favorites. Also, mocha -- I couldn't find it anywhere and actually emailed the company but they said they weren't selling it in NYC! Never found dulce de leche but would love to try. Emmi is also great: I like grapefruit (great flavor for yogurt -- who knew?) and black cherry.

I moved from NY to SF and cannot find Liberte in my local grocery stores and it makes me so sad!

I am not a big yogurt fan - makes me think of my childhood - sweet syrupy stuff on the bottom with bland yogurt on the top, not so appealing... I tried Greek yogurt for the first time this past weekend (needed it for a recipe) and it was quite tasty. If anyone has any suggestions for good yogurt, let me know :)

wegman's in allentown, pa carries a small liberte line - a buck a piece, so not cheap, but soooooo worth the indulgence.
Liberté Yogurt: My Holy Grail of Dairy Products
I love Liberte. I like their plain as well as their fruit on the bottom yogurts. The passion fruit, and the plum(?) and walnut versions are fruity in a pleasant non saccharine kind of way. I also love Browncow's cream on the top yogurt. Their low fat version is disgusting, but oh man..cream on the top is fantastic.

+1 on the Liberte love. The full-fat Mediteranee is amazing, especially the wild blackberry flavor.
Liberté Yogurt: My Holy Grail of Dairy Products
Yes Liberte plum walnut, but please search out Butterworks Farm whole Jersey milk yogurt. It's like a craft yogurt, totally badass organic family farm in northern Vermont that grows their own feed/pasture for their localized herd of Jersey cows. The yogurt is Golden colored because the milk is so lovely from these cows!

Having read everyone's raves about this product, I bought myself a 6 oz. container of the peach/passionfruit Mediterranee this afternoon. 8.5% milk fat! Dear lord! It is very rich and tasty. Also, it's about a dollar cheaper than the Fage at my market. But, given the amount of fat in it, I don't think it will replace my daily Fage. However, if I could ever track down the plain full fat (which my market did not have) I would use it to make a tzatziki in a heartbeat!
Liberté Yogurt: My Holy Grail of Dairy Products
It's my absolute fave stateside! It's the only thing I've found that can compare to the udder deliciousness of Marks and Spencers Organic yogurt tubs in London! The plum and walnut and blackberry are my favorite balls-out full-fat flavors.. but the raspberry grainy one is my "daily dose of pleasure," as the label says..
Liberté Yogurt: My Holy Grail of Dairy Products
I am on the look out for it, but I am failing - in Spain, the mama I lived with bought apple yogurt - and it was fantastic! Not too sweet, creamy, thick, small 4oz serving sizes. I can't find it and I want it. Has anyone even seen Apple Yogurt in the US before? I'd settle for that since I can't find the brand she bought there.
Liberté Yogurt: My Holy Grail of Dairy Products
Love Liberte. Buy here in Vermont all of the time. Was very sad when I went to their website and found all sort of flavors that they don't carry here. However I was sort of glad that they discontinued the bigger containers of the flavored ones b/c I was able to finish them in one sitting.

oh my, so many posts and nobody's given love to the dolce de leche Liberte?
for a long time, it used to be my Sunday treat. I'd get a book and a tub and sit down until both were done. then I gained weight, haha.
it's better than ice cream though!
Liberté Yogurt: My Holy Grail of Dairy Products
amazing....a health conscious co-worker was just telling me this was the best yogurt and I need to try it. Will definitely be on the lookout for this. thanks!
Liberté Yogurt: My Holy Grail of Dairy Products
I'm a Fage girl, usually the fat free (into which I stir raisin bran for breakfast). I love adding preserves to the plain 2% Fage.

Ronnybrook is wonderful! My second favorite is Brown Cow
Liberté Yogurt: My Holy Grail of Dairy Products
Brown Cow Yogurt, Cream Top or Lowfat type...I love to stir in a spoonful or two of honey or maple syrup into the plain yogurt...smooth, not-too-sweet,creamy yogurt nirvana. :-)
Liberté Yogurt: My Holy Grail of Dairy Products
i love seven stars yogurt. the texture and flavor are amazing. a little more expensive than buying ronnybrook at the greenmarket, but worth it.
Liberté Yogurt: My Holy Grail of Dairy Products
I tried the grain version of liberte first, so maybe that's why I don't like it. But for everyday - usually full fat yogurt, like Erivan or Fage. For a special treat, though it's not quite yogurt, I love petit montebourg! It's too expensive but so delicious - available at whole foods in the cheese section for those who want to try it.

Perhaps some of you remember the children's book "Stories Julian Tells" by Ann Cameron. I read it when I was about seven. There's one story in which a father is making some lemon pudding which he describes to his two boys with the phrase, "It will taste like a whole raft of lemons, it will taste like a night on the sea." It wasn't until I moved to Montreal ten years later that I realized the father was actually talking about lemon Liberté Méditerranée yogurt.
Liberté Yogurt: My Holy Grail of Dairy Products
i love the lemon flavour...my favourite!!!! it reminds me of lemon meringue pie. I have yet to try the maple syrup flavour...has everyone tried?

Fat free Fage. No crud floating around in or under it.
