It takes a village.

Nounós Creamery began with a simple craving for authenticity. Greek-Americans Steven Ioannou and his Nounó (Godfather), John Belesis, were frustrated by the so-called “Greek-style” yogurts found in U.S. grocery stores — thin, overly processed, and lacking the rich, tangy character of the yogurt they knew from summers spent in the Mediterranean.

Their search for the real thing led them back to Greece, where they immersed themselves in the traditional craft of Yiaourti Sakoulas — yogurt strained through cloth bags using nothing but time and gravity.

Armed with a family recipe and a passion for old-world methods, they launched Nounós Creamery in 2013. What began as a local labor of love quickly grew into a national favorite among food lovers, wellness seekers, and anyone who appreciates yogurt made the right way.

What makes Nounòs Different?

Made Better, For You and Your Gut

Nounós yogurt is made exclusively with A2 milk, which many find easier to digest and gentler on the gut. We use only non-GMO ingredients, with no artificial thickeners, gums, or preservatives — just clean, real food.

Each jar is naturally rich in live cultures, including BB-12 probiotics, clinically studied for their positive impact on digestive health and the gut microbiome.

Cold-Strained, Not Industrialized

Most commercial yogurts use centrifuges, powdered milk, and additives to mimic thickness. Nounós takes a different path — a slow process that cold-strains yogurt using gravity and cloth bags, just like it’s been done in Greek villages for generations. The result is a naturally thick, creamy yogurt that’s rich in protein and live cultures — with nothing added and nothing taken away.

No Single-Serve Plastic, No Microplastics.

Nounós was one of the first U.S. yogurt brands to reject single-serve plastic containers. Instead, the yogurt is packaged in reusable glass jars — safer for the body, better for the planet, and free of microplastics.
