FAQ

What does Nounós mean?

“Godfather." Founder John Belesis is godfather or “Nouno” (in Greek) to Co-Founder Steve Ioannou. We like to keep things in the family at Nounós.

There’s a lot of yogurts out there. What makes you so special?

1. Nounós is the only brand hand-crafted in small batches using the artisanal Greek method – no industrial machinery, and no shortcuts.

2. Zero additives or thickeners and preservatives. Just the good stuff.
   All-natural dairy and fruit, naturally sweetened.

3. We’re family owned and operated in Southampton, NY. Yogurt made with love and integrity.

4. It tastes the best, of course.

Why glass?

We’re committed to quality: Unlike plastic, glass is non-porous and non-leaching. Most manufacturers fill their yogurt into plastic containers to over 100° F, which can increase plastic chemical leaching into the product. We believe glass is the optimal vehicle to protect our yogurt’s freshness, quality, and taste. . . and it’s 100% recyclable. Or upcycle them to store spare change, potted plants, office supplies. . .we love seeing pics of how you’ve repurposed your yogurt container.

Are you organic?

Not at this time, but we try to source organic whenever possible. We are 100% non-GMO, antibiotic, gluten, rBST, and hormone-free.

Do you source locally?

What do you do with the whey by-product?

We donate it or sell it to some of the restaurants and foodservice establishments we work with, where it’s commonly used for baking or meat tenderizing.
