Califia Farms has launched what it describes as a breakthrough line of dairy-free yogurt drinks made with the Califia Culture Blend. The company notes that this distinct trio of 10 billion live, active probiotic CFUs is powered by BB-12, the most documented bifidobacteria in the world and well known for its efficacy in digestive and immune health. Califia Farms claims it is the first to batch ferment the BB-12 strain in a non-dairy yogurt. The cultures grow as part of the almond and coconut base, delivering probiotics as part of the whole food, versus being fortified and added at the end of fermentation.
Available in both multi-serve and single-serve, the yogurt drinks are available in four dairy-free varieties – strawberry, super berry, mango and unsweetened plain. Through the launch of its yogurt drinks, Califia Farms believes it is set to disrupt a new category and build upon the skyrocketing success that the brand has achieved with nut milks and coffee."Increasingly, consumers are realizing the importance of probiotics because of their enormous digestive and immune health benefits," said Greg Steltenpohl, CEO, Califia Farms. "And until now, there hasn't been a non-dairy yogurt that delivers the delicious taste and creamy texture people want. At Califia, we've set the gold standard for nut milks and creamers, and were able to create an almond and coconut based Yogurt Drink that delivers 10 billion live, active probiotics that are truly great tasting."The yogurts are non-GMO, dairy-free, gluten free, vegan, kosher and free of carrageenan.
