Liberté yogurt
Man, this stuff is good, despite its Canadi>n origins 
It is full of fat, but even for a full fat yogurt, this is great stuff. So far, apple crumble, coconut and lemon. I trust the coconuts are imported from another country to Canadia. Their milk comes from Vermont. But why no maple flavo(u)r?

Their organic vanilla yogurt is TO DIE FOR. If you can find it, grab it. Goes great with granola in the morning 
Though I have to admit, Fage is my favourite yogurt. I'd happily pay the premium if we could get it in Canada.

I am a big fan of the Chobani and other greek yogurts, but just tried some of this Liberte yogurt yesterday as there was a save $1 coupon on 2 at the store, it was very tasty.
Also got some Swiss Emmi Pink Grapefruit yogurt with a similar coupon, and it was wonderful. I'd never thought about grapefruit and yogurt before that, it is a good combo!

Some is made in the US, some is imported (from outside North America). They don't taste the same.

I like fage with the split yogurt/fruit, but there is just so much yogurt, I have trouble eating it all.
On the other hand I love it being split because I can easily use the excess for making dips and spreads.
Eh Just tried some 'Cascade Fresh' cultured in cup yogurt, it has nothing on any mentioned here, pretty terrible in fact, I'd rather eat danon, this stuff was watery to the extreme. I am used to some liquids on top with greek yogurts, but this was far beyond just some separation, it was watery tasting.

At home I eat usually plain yoghurt from the Indian grocery store, or whichever of the Whole Foods brands is on sale. When I'm in France I've been sampling--uncharacteristically for me--the flavored Activia yoghurts. They're not too sweet, and the flavors! Fig, apricot, forest berries--but rhubarb is by far the best. Otherwise when I can find it there's a heavenly brand that comes in a little ceramic pot--eaten plain it's like a creamy custard. I haven't tasted anything that good here in the US. Fage is good but I've gotten spoiled. Must try the Swiss Emmi, which sounds pretty tempting.

I find when travelling in the US i get completely frustrated with finding a yogurt that doesn't contain HFCS and other crap, and isn't overly sweet, so I've taken to picking out the plain low fat ones and adding a spoonful of brown sugar to it myself for breakfast.

Activia yogurts are GREAT! They're very popular in Canada, and I buy them all the time.

Swiss Emmi was out tonight with this special they are running. in fact only Strawberry and Walnut Plum Liberte there as well, I got strawberry.
They also had a Nancy's yogurt which I am willing to give a shot, it comes plain with fruit in a cup on top, I shall see, it is not a greek style or anything special, but that doesn't keep it from being good.
About Activa, I find it to be great for making smoothies as it has a rich fruit flavor, but for eating plain I like the others better.
all this food talk has be wanting to renew my food blogging.
