Wallaby is one of the newest players in the rapidly growing organic yogurt segment. They write: “Wallaby Yogurt was born out of an adventure that began Down Under. It was during a trip through Australia that Jerry and Faith, company founders, chanced across a deliciously distinctive yogurt. Confident that Americans would enjoy this different style of yogurt as much as they did, Jerry and Faith set out to bring their discovery back to the U.S. Today, what began as an Australian adventure continues in the form of Wallaby Yogurt Company—a family-owned and operated yogurt manufacturing business located in the Napa Valley. Wallaby Yogurt is made in small batches in the traditional Australian style. Its smooth texture and mild taste are the result of a slow, gentle culturing process that differentiates Wallaby from other yogurts. Wallaby is also made using only premium organic ingredients, including organic milk from local dairies.” |
