Inspired by the success of Greek yogurt, Tarté Asian Yogurt, Santa Monica, CA, is introducing consumers to a new yogurt alternative. The company said its yogurt lacks the sour taste and chalky texture of Greek yogurt, and high sugar content of traditional yogurt.  
 
Tarté Asian Yogurt is an all-natural French-Vietnamese fusion yogurt, created with a slow and gentle cooking process, which caramelizes the natural sugars found in milk, while retaining key nutrients by not straining. Each batch is made with locally sourced rBST/rBGH free milk, fresh from California family farms, and flavored with premium exotic fruits. Tarté Asian Yogurt flavors include The Original; Strawberry & Guanabana; Acai & Blueberry; Mango & Coconut; and Green Tea & Honey.
 
The new product is only 110 calories and offers 12 grams of protein. In addition, the Tarté’s formula boasts 25% less sugar compared to flavored Greek yogurt and 50% less sugar compared to leading traditional yogurt. It contains 35% of daily value of calciumand 1:1 protein to sugar ratio. Tarté offers all five essential electrolytes and live probiotic bacteria lactobacillus and bifidus. It contains no high fructose sweeteners, gelatin or artificial ingredients.
