Laura Chenel expands goat yogurt distribution

Laural Chenel has expanded its distribution of the Laura Chenel Probiotic Goat Milk Yogurt in plain and vanilla flavors to grocery stores throughout California, including Whole Foods and other natural and specialty markets.

The tangy-flavored yogurt is made from the fresh milk of pastured goats at family-owned farms throughout the West. Strains of live and active cultures are added to the milk after pasteurization, creating a probiotic-rich product.

The plain goat yogurt is available in snack-size 4.75-ounce glass jars with gold foil lids or family-size 23-ounce glass jars with resealable lids. Add it to a smoothie or a bowl of berries and granola for breakfast or use it as a substitute for sour cream or crème fraîche in sauces or dips.

The vanilla yogurt won second place at the 2020 World Cheese Champions and Best in Class at the 2019 U.S. Championship Cheese Contest.

Features, The Press Democrat

I’m interested in the home kitchen, from sheet-pan suppers to the latest food trends. Food encompasses the world, its many cultures, languages and history. It is both essential and sensual. I also have my fingers on the pulse of classical music in Sonoma County, from student mariachi bands to jazz crossover and symphonic sounds. It’s all a rich gumbo, redolent of the many cultures that make up our country and the world.
