Manhattan, NY – May 17, 2016
Sohha Savory Yogurt (www.sohhayogurt.net) announces the Grand Opening of its first standalone retail store on the Upper West Side near Columbia University. Previously, Sohha operated a yogurt bar in the Chelsea Market. Sohha will continue its tradition of savory and sweet yogurt bar, while adding to the Middle Eastern flavor of co-founder Angela Mualem Fout’s Lebanese heritage.
“We are very excited about opening our own retail space,” said Angela Fout, Sohha’s co-founder and Chief Operating Officer. “I want to expand our offerings to spread the robust flavors I grew up with as a girl. Importantly, we live in the neighborhood, and we look forward to increasing our commitment to the local community.” Sohha has two main missions: make real food and support local farmers.
Sohha Savory Yogurt signature feature is savory – yogurt doesn’t have to be sweet. The yogurt contains three simple ingredients: milk, live cultures, and a pinch of real unprocessed sea salt.
Sohha Savory Yogurt will carry a café style menu with selections for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The options include cups of yogurt, smoothies, salad bowls, and pita wraps. Customers can choose set options or create their own combinations. There will be coffee – both American and Arabic – and Turkish tea. Also, great grab-and-go options exist including yogurt, yogurt drinks, hummus, baba ghanouj, local milk, roasted nuts, and Middle Eastern baklava. Store hours are 7 AM to 9 PM daily.
Sohha Savory Yogurt will continue to sell in farmers’ markets and to provide direct delivery in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Sohha is also available in specialty stores and Whole Foods throughout the New York Metro area.
Sohha Savory Yogurt is local and sustainable. We source milk from a small local co-op – Hudson Valley Fresh. We also reuse our whey in a variety of fashions, including drinks, caramels made by La Petite Occasion, and soap made by Ol’ Darlin’. Sohha will also promote other local businesses and products: bread from Sullivan Street Bakery, coffee from Porto Rico Importing, and granola from Dragonfly Granola & Granola Lab.
