FAGE Total, the first authentic Greek yogurt, is just that, a ridiculously classy must-have item for those in the know. For many years, FAGE was only available in Greece, Italy and other European capitals, and enjoyed only by fashion jetsetters who traveled abroad. Now, FAGE is expanding its presence in the US and hitting the runways of LA.
A Ridiculously Decadent Dessert
FAGE Total is taking LA by storm as the official gourmet food of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios. Chef Nicolas Peter, of the celebrity and influencer magnet, The Little Door, has partnered with FAGE Total to create a FAGE Total recipe that will be available exclusively at the event.
Celebrity Chef Nicolas Peter will un-cover a one of a kind, FAGE Total recipe on Tuesday, October 16th at 3:30 pm at the FAGE cafe at Smashbox Studios that will truly showcase the week's hottest new trend-luxury and extravagance. The "unveil" will occur amidst the glitz and glitter of L.A.'s ridiculously fashionable audience and will be attended by celebrity and model fans of the indulgent Greek yogurt.
The restaurant, a favorite of the ridiculously famous Victoria and David Beckham, is known for its elegance and high quality Mediterranean cuisine, making it a harmonious partner for FAGE Total. Also adored by fans including the ridiculously beautiful Heidi Klum and ridiculously talented Christina Aguilera, the restaurant was named "Best Romantic Restaurant of LA." The restaurant is continually lauded by critics and clientele as one of the best restaurants in LA, because of its simple and stylish appeal.
"FAGE Total is one of those fabulous products that a chef always wants to incorporate into a recipe," says Chef Nicolas Peter. "The texture is so creamy and the taste is amazingly rich that the possibilities to make an extraordinary dish are practically endless."
While the backstage of fashion shows are usually outfitted with champagne and snacks, this year, models and designers will be able to feast on FAGE Total, the official gourmet food at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios. The irony of models lining up for rich, creamy yogurt, is a bit out of the ordinary, yet since FAGE Total is made of only two ingredients, live cultures and milk, its benefits are endless. It's all-natural, free of any additives, sweeteners, or preservatives, and has higher quantities of protein than other yogurts. Can we say something about being a good filling snack?
FAGE Total will celebrate designers including Beach Bunny, Joseph Domingo, Bird of Prey, Candice Held and Voom by Joy Hahn by serving up their favorite FAGE recipe as a treat to all of Fashion Week guests. FAGE Total, the ridiculously thick yogurt, will be just as hot as the designs from the runways.
This season's shows will be going 'green,' with a focus on sustainability in an effort to reduce the industrial impact on the environment. "We are so thrilled to be able to lead the charge on this effort, and are honored to have FAGE Total involved, as their product really represents our theme of purity and all-natural living," according to Davis Factor, Smashbox Studios co founder.
For those who enjoy good taste and high quality products, FAGE Total is a premium daily indulgence with a rich, luxurious taste. FAGE is the first and only company to provide consumers strained yogurt due to its unique, proprietary manufacturing process. During production, the yogurt is strained to remove most of the whey from the milk, typically 4 liters of milk will produce one liter of yogurt.
