Kayak Greek Frozen Yogurt Review, Part Two



Fro-yo girl here. I recently visited The Argentum Project in San Francisco to try their soft serve Greek frozen yogurt. They use Kayak frozen yogurt, which is imported from Greece. The Argentum Project is a Greek style coffee café which also sells Greek groceries, such as olive oil, wine, sweets, and more importantly, Kayak Frozen Greek Yogurt (the packaged kind that you can find in a supermarket freezer section).

They had the full Kayak Greek Frozen Yogurt line, which includes 500ml and 107ml pots. The large pots come in 8 flavors. The mini pots come in 6 flavors. A small pot was $2.50. A large pot was $8.

They had the following flavors: Chocolate, Madagascar Vanilla, Choco Cream Cookies, Mango & Jasmine, Red Berries & Acai, Peanut Butter Caramelized Peanuts, Pure, Mediterranean Orange

Interestingly, I spotted Kayak frozen yogurt at Bi-Rite, in the freezer, a few months ago. They had two flavors, Pure (plain, no sugar added) and Madagascar Vanilla. I decided to try another flavor, even though I didn’t like the Pure flavor.

* Mediterranean Orange Greek froyo: The texture was similar to ice cream but not as creamy. I wouldn’t say that the product was icy, but it didn’t have the scoopable quality of a high fat product. The orange flavor was present but subtle. There was little tang and it was on the bland side. I could taste the cream more than the yogurt. From what I’ve tried from Kayak, lack of flavor and tang are consistent qualities. The mini pot was cute and came with a built in spoon under the lid.

One serving was 77g, 130 calories, 5g total fat, 18g total sugars, 3g protein.

Ingredients: Milk, Greek strained yogurt (skim milk, concentrated skim milk, cream, whey, bacterial culture), sugar, orange juice, cream, skim milk, dextrose, guar gum, cellulose gum, carrageenan, mono and diglycerides of fatty acids.

Here's a link to my earlier review of the Argentum Project’s Greek soft serve froyo.
