Why Frozen Yogurt?

A millennium... that's a thousand years. By anyone's measure that's a long time and that's how long people have been eating yogurt. Why? The answer is simple and at Cherry on Top, we know it. Simply put, were putting our best food forward!

The process is simple enough: yogurt is a food made by the natural bacterial fermentation of milk. We add our unique take on the process, a Cherry on Top secret that keeps our customers coming back for more. But it's really just a spin on what nature intended- as in, Mother Nature. Time and again, research has provided data that the friendly bacteria's present in our yogurt aid a body in a host of ways, such as: it has been known to help prevent Osteoporosis, reduce the risk of high blood pressure, and the active cultures in yogurt may help certain gastrointestinal conditions...did we happen to mention that its yummy, too?

By partnering with Cherry on Top, you become another part of the process as it was intended. It's Yogurt. Your Way!
