At Chobani, Adding Flavor to Yogurt While Watching Calories<br />We wanted to make a s’mores-flavored yogurt, so our team experimented — we try to use only natural ingredients<br />and sweeteners — to create the taste of campfire s’mores.<br />I started as an intern, working three days a week until I graduated,<br />and first worked on what Chobani calls its core platform, which includes the fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt.<br />We select the ingredients for the flavor we’re preparing, then the science comes in so the product can be tested for safety<br />and to make sure it can be reproduced on a large scale.<br />What was your first flavor at Chobani?<br />As told to<br />Long, 25, is a research and development scientist for Chobani at its yogurt factory in Twin Falls, Idaho.<br />After the second interview, they invited me to Twin Falls and asked me to create some yogurt products.
