Saint Benoît - Philosophy


		Saint Benoît's terroir is Sonoma County. From this coastal land's unique climate, geography, history, traditions and diverse population comes some of the best wine and food on the West Coast. In western Sonoma County, we found a family dairy of many generations that produces the richest and healthiest milk we have ever tasted. This exceptional Jersey cows' milk is the key element to the unique flavor of Saint Benoît yogurts. Along Sonoma's Farm Trails, we also found fruit orchards and fruit growers who hand make fruit preserves. The preserves we use in our yogurts are made with organic tree-ripened fruit using significantly less sugar than commercial jams. Last but not least, we make Saint Benoît yogurts in small batches on a farm in Bodega on the Sonoma coast. The milk travels less than 2 miles from the farm to our kitchen, and is immediately turned into yogurt and brought to our customers. It is indeed food "of a place" - its freshness is exceptional!
