So I mix plain whole milk Dannon and Fage to use as my starter and my yogurt comes out quite thick and with a nice amount of tartness (to me), but not mouth-puckeringly tart.n-- I blog at www.ReformedRevelry.wordpress.com

Fage does not contain acidophilus; it contains L. Bulgaricus and L. Themopolus. And since Dannon does contain acidophilus, mixing the two gives you the benefits of three different probiotics.I thought Dannon contained all three on it's own. Is this wrong?

Dannon contains s. thermophilus, l. bulgaricus and L.

acidophilus.

I believe Fage only has s. thermophilus, l. bulgaricus.

To be labeled as yogurt, it MUST contain s. thermophilus and l.

bulgaricus.
