About Ehrmann:

The Ehrmann family learned the craft of yogurt-making in Oberschonegg im Allgau, Germany, in 1929. In lush Bavarian valleys surrounded by the majestic Alps, the family refined the art of generating the creamy essence of the very best of fresh, pure milk. Over the years, the Ehrmann family developed techniques and perfected old-world recipes—creating scrumptious tastes and smooth, spoonable textures unlike any other. The Ehrmann's maintain their commitment to the old-world techniques and all natural ingredients that make Bavarian yogurt a world's favorite. The family dairy has remained true to this philosophy, so its dairy products are still produced successfully and marketed "by the family for the family."
