I discovered a Whole Milk Mediterranean style Yogurt (KAROUN), helps me feel much better by helping with an upset stomach and digestive system.

I like the tart flavor just as it is! I have added things to the yougurt as well like chocolate protein powder for extra flavor and protein.
I also tried agave nectar as a special treat.

The cost is a great value for the amount you get. The container I buy is 64 ounces for under $6.

The health benefits are working with my digestive system well.

I highly recommend this product!

My Grandfather was a Katoun employee back in early days of the company in Beirut Lebanon like 70 years ago, and I had very high respect for that Name, and when I came to America 10 years ago, I looked for it to purchase my needs from a very respected renowned Name.
Unfortunately expectations were totally disappointing.
I tried my best to get used to the products but the experience I had in lasts 6 months with the White Cheese the produce was very alarming. The product got worse and worse day by day, and prices soared up.
The cheese I purchased 5lb block ,two of them, was mucus like jelly, melting and very bad consistency.
I tried to pour hot boiling water on it, it just melt down and became a milky like emulsion, nothing solid left in the melt,
I am really concerned about what we're we eating all this time? What is it made of What's inside didn't harden upon cooling and it's even more liquid.
I went up to the retailer, who had my complaints for the previous batches as well, so he asked the distributor, whose answer was, " as long as the expiration date is OK Then we have no solution"
I am quitting Karoun products as I am really concerned about all the products and the ingredients in it. I regrettably say this and I warn the producer about this very upsetting experience 😔.
I may even take legal measures.

Check in was easy. Dock have plenty space for alley docking, you just have to use the street to get your dock easy. Took me 2mins max to dock. Got a door right away.

TRUCK DRIVERS
To avoid blind backing, enter from CA-118 Exit Glenoaks Blvd. Go north, make WIDE right turn onto Arroyo Ave.

Docks 1, 2 & 3. Dock 4 is a ramp.

Recommend calling shipping office before exiting highway. If arriving close to your appt time, they may have you dock first, then check in.

I buy the nonfat yogurt at my local Vons in La Crescenta. I have it every morning with blueberries and a cup of coffee. It reminds me of eating crème fraiche and berries in Paris except it’s high in protein and low in calories. Would love to visit Karon Dairies in person! ❤️❤️❤️

Tight dock parking. You have to back in from the street. I was able to blind side. Just have to block traffic for a short bit.

We deal with 6 suppliers for our restaurant. Karoun happens to be sort of the black duck between these suppliers since we only use them for only 4 line items out of our 92 item food list, and we only order from them once every other week (not once and twice a week like the other bigger suppliers). This is because they are a Dairy company and their offerings are limited to Dairy. As a restaurant there is only so much dairy we can buy.
Karoun is the least corporate out of all the suppliers we deal with, yet they act the most corporate out of all of them.
Karoun is the only supplier whom we do NOT have credit terms with, nor do they have online ACH payments or CC processing without the north of 3% fee....
That being said they are the least flexible and organized supplier with billing and payments.
We got stuck on the pre-historic check payments system with them because they started charging CC fees.
They also do not have proper ACH system or credit system for automating payments like the rest of the world, hence the chaos. If you do not have the check ready for each order like clockwork, the driver gets angry and loud, they charge a 50 dollar restock fee and they refuse to deliver to you again the following week - as some sort of punishment I guess? Talk about customer satisfaction.
Imagine the logistics of having to leave a check for each order in the year 2021. Not even Mission Linens does that anymore and they used to be notorious for this kind of silliness. Not sure if we are Karoun’s customer or if Karoun is our customer.
Additionally when I hear that the Warehouse personnel are the ones making sales and customer relationship decisions, that’s when I know it is time to jump ship.
Adios Karoun Dairies. You might not care about this small business today, but you lost the under development big business(es) of tomorrow.

Lastly, Winning a few big Accounts like Jetro doesn’t mean you can take a dump on small businesses like us. I’d suggest a course from SalesForce on this Sales 101 lesson.
Good luck and I hope things change as I really want to change this review to a 5 star because their product is of very good quality. It is just a shame that they do not have good company values - bad ownership.
