How does Greek yogurt differ from other yogurts?

Asked by syz (35943points) June 2nd, 2010

When I google “Greek yogurt”, I get discussions of how it’s creamier and superior to other yogurts, but no explanation of why (except for a reference to ewe’s milk, but I find it very hard to believe that the mass produced product for sale in the US is from ewe’s milk). Is there something different about the production of Greek yogurt? Are different cultures used? Can you taste a difference?
