Shopping List: Woodstock Water Buffalo Milk Yogurt

YogurtStar Hill Dairy, located in Woodstock, Vermont, is one of only a handful of cheese-makers to produce buffalo milk mozzarella on American soil (another is Southern California-based Bubalus Bubalis). While Star Hill Dairy has received acclaim for its stateside bufala, it also makes a fantastic line of water buffalo milk yogurts.

Though the idea of eating cheese made from water buffalo milk will be a natural to anyone who has savored the perfection of an insalata caprese, buffalo milk yogurt might sound strange at first. But, after tasting Star Hill Dairy's product, you may never go back the moo milk variety. The biggest difference from cow's milk yogurt is not so much its flavor than its texture. The rich, dense, exceedingly creamy yogurt is so thick you could probably cut it with a knife (or even hold it upside down, if you are so inclined). The consistency is closest to Total, the great Greek strained yogurt.

BuffAccording to Star Hill Dairy's Web site, Buffalo milk's health benefits include higher protein and calcium levels than cow's milk, not to mention lower cholesterol. The yogurt is not low in fat, however. A six ounce container contains a whopping 10 grams of fat, accounting for 93 of the yogurt's 206 total calories.

Woodstock Water Buffalo Milk Yogurt is $2.49 for a six ounce container at Agata & Valentina, 1505 First Avenue, and other retailers.

Donna,

I found a variety of Water Buffalo products at Bishops in Guilford Ct. Is a bit out of the way for you, but the yougart is worth the trip! Like cheesecake!

 

Does anyone know if Woodstock Buffalo Yogurt company went out of business. I can't seem to find anyone who knows. My health food store doesn't carry it any more because they said they went out business but can't verify it for sure.

If so is there any other company that manufactures the buffalo yogurt? I live in western Mass and became a fan of the Woodstock buffalo yogurt, I am trying to ind another company that is as good.

 

It looks like they just went out of business, but will be revived by a new company. They had also rebranded the yogurt as "Spoondance," which I have found at Whole Foods.
