How to Freeze Fage Yogurt

Fage is a brand of Greek yogurt that was started by the Filippou family in Greece. This yogurt is very thick and creamy. As the company grew, they were able to offer their yogurt worldwide. Since all types of yogurt contain active bacteria, you may not be sure as to whether you can freeze it. Fortunately, you can freeze Fage yogurt. The bacteria become dormant in freezing temperatures, but according to the National Health Institute, they come back to life once thawed out. Does this Spark an idea?
