WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Dannon Company is expanding into the frozen aisle just in time for summer, with the launch of Dannon® Oikos® Greek Frozen Yogurt. This new product offering, available in six delicious flavors, marks the brand’s first move into the frozen for home consumption category.
“While the phenomenon of Greek yogurt continues to drive growth in the refrigerated section, the trend is just starting to expand into the frozen aisle,” said Art D’Elia, vice president of marketing at The Dannon Company. Frozen yogurt is the single largest driver of growth in frozen desserts. “Oikos consumers are always looking for smarter alternatives that don’t sacrifice the taste they love. Dannon Oikos Greek Frozen Yogurt delivers an incredible frozen taste experience with half the fat of regular ice cream* and 6 grams of protein in every serving.** In addition, Dannon Oikos Greek Frozen Yogurt contains active yogurt cultures and is an excellent source of calcium.”***
John Stamos returns in a familiar role as the Dannon Oikos spokesman in a TV spot supporting the launch of the frozen Greek yogurt scheduled to begin airing on May 12. In the entertaining ad, Stamos quickly recovers from a painful break up with the delicious treat of Dannon Oikos Greek Frozen Yogurt. “I love making these commercials for Oikos because they’re fun and the product is really great. I found myself eating the Oikos Greek frozen yogurt in between takes even after taking so many on-camera bites. I hope people love the ad as much as I love this Greek frozen yogurt,” said Stamos.
With a strong commitment to high-quality, innovative products, Dannon provides consumers with delicious and fun-to-eat yogurts. The creamy, thick texture of Dannon Oikos Greek Frozen Yogurt blended with irresistible flavors is sure to satisfy even the most discerning sweet tooth and become a staple in household freezers.
