Ehrmann® All Natural Bavarian Lowfat Yogurt More than Triples Retail Distribution Within Weeks of Initial US Launch

MISHAWAKA, Ind., Oct. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Bavarian goodness continues to spread throughout the New England and Upstate New York areas. Ehrmann® USA, LLC announced that its All Natural Bavarian Lowfat Yogurt, which hit U.S. dairy aisles only a few weeks ago, is now available in more than 500 stores throughout New England and Upstate New York. Shaw's, Price Chopper, Hannaford, and Tops are the primary store locations in New England and Upstate New York now selling Ehrmann, one of Europe's leading yogurts.

A beloved family recipe with Bavarian roots, Ehrmann Yogurt is now made fresh in Brattleboro, Vt. using state-of-the-art manufacturing technology to deliver one of the creamiest and purest lowfat yogurts available in America today. A portion of net profits from the sale of the products are donated to the milk farmers.

"America's affinity with European-styled yogurt is what motivated Ehrmann's U.S. launch," said Harald Bellm, president and CEO of Ehrmann USA, LLC. "We are very happy to see that it is being so well-received. By tripling our distribution, we are able to more widely deliver a high-quality food to more Americans, which is one of our goals as we continue our U.S. expansion."

Available in five full-bodied flavors and packaged in 5.3 ounce cups that feature a dual-chamber to allow for a custom blend of creamy yogurt and real fruit, each variety contains 150 calories or less and packs seven grams of protein per serving with only 1.5 grams of total fat. Ehrmann All Natural Bavarian Lowfat Yogurt uses only all natural ingredients, including pure, fresh Vermont and Upstate New York milk to make yogurt using techniques and old-world recipes that have been passed down through three generations of Ehrmann's. Ehrmann's Bavarian all natural lowfat, low calorie yogurt has an extremely creamy texture and is a good source of Vitamins A and D.
