“Indulgence and Greek are both key trends in the chilled yoghurts and desserts category, with both segments out-stripping total category growth. Danone has spotted an opportunity to actively fuel this trend by entering the chilled yoghurts and desserts market with a new luxury Greek style proposition,” Danone brand manager Angela McGee said.

Last year, Danone relaunched its Dannon Greek yoghurt in the US as Oikos, a brand it advertised during this year’s Super Bowl.
