Substitutes for Natural Yogurt in gelato
Natural yogurt is plain, unsweetened whole-milk yogurt: fermented milk that is about 88% water and 12% solids (milkfat, protein, lactose and minerals). In gelato it adds fresh acidic tang, light body from milk solids, and a small anti-freezing contribution from lactose.
