I'm hooked on Total Fage brand greek yogurt (the kind that's full-fat), I think so far Jungle Jim's only carries it in single-serving containers, which is a real shame. But I highly recommend the single serving cup with honey--it is FANTASTIC. Most people think of yogurt as some sort of punishment, a diet food...not this yogurt. This yogurt is a mouthful of creamy sin.
Krinos brand is good too, but with a more sour flavor to it and probably better for savory uses, like tzatziki sauce. I use the Total stuff mixed with honey and topped with fresh berries for dessert. IMO, it's better than whipped cream...

I've not been able to find the large containers at Jungle Jims either, however Trader Joe's still stocks them.
You are right, both of them are far superior to american yogurt. I had bought the Fages and one other type in large cartons last year but i think they were just discontinuing them then. I made tzatziki for 35 people and was amazed at how much better it was with the greek stuff. Of course the 3 greek guys I work with (2 of which have family restaurants in new York) swore by the stuff as well. It would be nice if they had it in the larger sizes.
