The yogurt of longevity

The Longevity Diet Foods is a newly established biotechnology company which develops, a completely new generation of 100% natural ingredients with bio-functional properties and benefits to human health. These properties are in foods enriched with bioactive compounds, for which there is sufficient scientific evidence that they can perform a particular function within the body.

This business started just a few months ago, but has successfully succeeded in presenting two innovative products in the dairy market, YoguDiet 2% and Omega 3 (Ω3) Cheese Dip.

The first one, which is also the flagship of the company, is a strained yogurt made of cow’s milk, high in protein with 2% fat, 100% natural with milk of the day and infused via natural procedures with grape extract, rich in polyphenols, which gives it 6.5 times more antioxidant effect from any other yogurt on the market.

Omega 3 (Ω3) Cheese Dip is spreadable Feta P.D.O. mixed with Greek Yogurt and Olives flavor. High Omega 3 fatty acids contribute to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels.

Vision / Goals

Longevity Diet Foods focuses on maintaining superior quality in its products from raw material production to consumption, as well as establishing a reliable brand. The company’s vision is to bridge the gap between healthy eating and conventional medicine by offering products of great taste and at an affordable price. The company, albeit neophyte, exports. During the first year of operation, the goal is to penetrate 2-3 foreign markets that will double on an annual basis.
