The fermentation of set yogurt takes place in the retail container, although the biochemical reactions responsible for the formation of the coagulum are exactly the same as in stirred yogurt.
The yogurt is poured into containers then incubated without any further stirring. Set yogurt has a characteristic thick texture which makes it ideal for a number of uses such as within curries or sauces or quite simply on its own. Set yogurt provides the body and firmness of Greek yogurt, but with less fat content.
