strained yogurt

Whey-drained cultured milk

Strained yogurt is yogurt that has been filtered to remove whey, producing a thicker, creamier texture than regular yogurt.

The straining concentrates the protein and reduces the liquid content.

Greek yogurt is the most familiar variety in American supermarkets, though similar products exist across Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines: I substituted strained yogurt for sour cream.
