Dreaming Cow Yogurt Review





Fro-yo girl here. I found Dreaming Cow at Fresh Market for $1.69 a cup. It’s a New Zealand style artisan yogurt that’s billed as all natural and cream top. The milk comes from happy, grassfed cows from their family farm in South Georgia. Dreaming Cow’s founders are a husband (Georgia farm boy) and wife (Native of New Zealand). The New Zealand style refers to the popularity of cream top yogurt in New Zealand and also the New Zealand style rotational grazing farm.

* Vanilla agave yogurt: The ingredients are simple: whole non-homogenized milk, organic agave nectar, pure vanilla extract, live and active cultures. No additives or stabilizers are used. The tulepo honey they use is local. One 6 ounce cup is 133 calories with 5 grams of fat.You can skim off the milk fat on top.It’s not very pretty looking because of the chunks of milk fat that have formed on top and the texture is soft and slightly clumpy. It’s not as thick as Greek yogurt or as runny as the European style Traders Point Creamery yogurt. I like how the yogurt is tart and only lightly sweetened. The milk fat tastes like cream and it’s full fat, so the yogurt is heavier, richer than usual. The vanilla flavor is noticeable but not strong. It’s different than what I’m used to but the richness makes it a treat.

Dreaming Cow yogurt comes in five flavors: Plain, Honey pear, Vanilla agave, Strawberry pomegranate, Maple ginger

4.5 out of 5 stars.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

  1. Thanks Fro-Yo Girl. I was having some doubts on choosing the Dreaming Cow but feel much better since you had the same experience and perfectly explained the not so appealing fat top. It really does taste good once you stir it up. I had the Dark Cherry Chai. Peace ~ Liz S.

  2. Just discovered this at target. Love it since it's easily tolerated for lactose intolerant folks. Feel good eating because it's not overly processed and filled with additives.

  6. Tastes like it's literally right out of the barnyard. They're not messing around. Grass-fed? Yes. Absolutely. It tastes like the entire cow, out in the pasture, doing it's business. Cute label though :)

  7. I feel like I can taste the grass the cows grazed on. It's hard to get past that.
