Noosa yoghurt is a whole milk, Australian-style yogurt sold in the refrigerated case at Target, Walmart, regional grocers and warehouse clubs, and online through Instacart and Amazon Fresh. It is not imported. The brand’s own story starts in Noosa on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, but the milk comes from Colorado farms, and since a sale announced in late 2024 the brand has belonged to the company behind Lakeview Farms rather than Campbell’s. If you only want the short version: try a single 8 oz serving at Target or Walmart, then move up to a multipack once you know which one you will actually finish.

Who Makes Noosa Yoghurt Now?
Noosa is owned by Novus Foods, the Delphos, Ohio company behind Lakeview Farms, a manufacturer of fresh dips and desserts. The brand has changed hands more than once, and product names have shifted along the way.
- Founders. Koel Thomae, an Australian living in Colorado, tasted the original in Noosa and teamed up with Rob Graves, a fourth-generation Colorado dairy farmer, to make it in the United States.
- Sovos Brands. The brand sat inside Sovos Brands, the company behind Rao’s Homemade sauces, until Campbell’s completed its acquisition of Sovos on March 12, 2024.
- Lakeview Farms. On November 12, 2024, Campbell’s announced the sale of the noosa business to Lakeview Farms, noting about 177 million USD in net sales over the prior 12 months. Novus Foods now lists noosa among its brands next to Fresh Cravings and Señor Rico.
The recipe pitch has stayed the same: the brand says its whole milk comes from a Colorado farm or from dairies within 55 miles of it, and each batch gets a touch of wildflower honey. What has changed is the product names, which is why older roundups that mention “Mates” or “Doubles” products no longer match the shelf.
What Makes It Different From Greek Yogurt
Australian-style yogurt is unstrained whole milk yogurt: the whey stays in, so it spoons smooth and rich instead of standing up stiff. Greek yogurt and Icelandic skyr are strained yogurt, with the whey drained off to concentrate protein. The texture reference most people land on is gelato, and the trade-off is more fat and more sugar per serving than a plain strained product.
| Style | Milk base | Whey | Texture | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Australian style, unstrained | Whole milk | Left in | Smooth, pourable, rich | A dessert-adjacent snack |
| Greek yogurt | Often non fat | Drained off | Dense and tangy | Higher protein per serving |
| Icelandic skyr | Usually skim | Drained off | Very thick, mild | Lean, low sweetness |
Three buyers get real value from it: people who found non fat yogurt chalky and quit the category, parents who need a cold snack a kid will finish, and anyone who wants a creamy treat built on milk, fruit and honey. One buyer gets burned, and that’s anyone counting macros. A Cub listing for the 24 oz vanilla multiserve shows 210 calories, 9 g fat, 9 g protein and 24 g sugar per serving, so check the panel on the pack in your hand before treating it as a lean breakfast.
If you like the taste but want a thicker, tangier result, spoon a single-serve container into a sieve lined with cheesecloth and let it drain in the fridge for an hour or two. You are making your own strained version, and the drained whey takes some of the sweetness with it.
Which Noosa Size and Format to Buy
The 8 oz size is the format to start with, because the whole core range comes in it and you can taste one before committing. The current noosa products page and retailer listings break the line into five formats.
| Format | Size seen at retail | Varieties | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single serve | 8 oz | Widest: about 18, from Lemon and Mango to Strawberry Rhubarb, Black Cherry and Key Lime | First purchase, sampling |
| Multipack cups | 4 oz cups in 4-packs; 12-packs at Smart & Final | Blueberry, Lemon, Strawberry, Raspberry, Salted Caramel | Lunchboxes, portion control |
| Multiserve | 24 oz | Vanilla Bean and Honey | Households, granola bowls, a dip base |
| Mix-ins | 5.8 oz at Target | Yoghurt with a crunchy topping such as S’mores or Coconut Almond Chocolate | Snack eaters who want texture |
| Cheesecake Bites | 6-count boxes | Vanilla and Raspberry | Dessert, not breakfast |
Seasonal flavors such as Pumpkin, Apple Pie and Cinnamon Roll rotate in and out of the single-serve line, so last fall’s favorite may be gone. Whatever the size, it is a fresh product with a short shelf life: reach to the back of the shelf and read the printed date, especially on a multipack.
Where to Buy Noosa Yoghurt in Store
Look in the refrigerated dairy case, usually in the premium yogurt aisle set rather than next to the store brands. No chain stocks the full range everywhere, so the store you pick decides how many varieties you see.
Target
Target’s site showed one of the broadest assortments in October 2026: singles in Raspberry, Vanilla Bean, Black Cherry, Strawberry Rhubarb, Lemon, Pumpkin, Apple Pie and Dulce de Leche, a 4-count Lemon multipack, four mix-ins varieties and both Cheesecake Bites. Store sets are often smaller than the website, so confirm through the Target listing and its in-store filter first.
Walmart
Walmart, the largest grocery seller in the United States, has a noosa category page on its site, and its pickup and delivery service is the easiest way to get cold yoghurt without a shipping box. Selection varies by store, so a supercenter and a neighborhood market a few miles apart can hold different sets. Check local stock before driving over.
Regional grocers
Cub lists the 24 oz size, Hannaford sells it through Instacart, and Smart & Final sells a 12-pack (four each of Blueberry, Lemon and Strawberry Rhubarb). Regional chains are where seasonal releases tend to surface, because they reset their yogurt sets on their own schedules. Whole Foods Market is worth a look if you are already going; our Whole Foods shopping guide covers the rest of that trip.
Sam’s Club
Warehouse clubs are the value channel when they carry it, but club inventory rotates, and a current Sam’s Club listing could not be confirmed in October 2026. Our club shopping guide explains that rhythm. Check the club listing before the trip.
Ordering Noosa Online Without Breaking the Cold Chain
Online works for multipacks and varieties your store skips, but this is a perishable, so how it travels matters more than the listing. Same-day grocery delivery beats a mailed parcel every time.
- Instacart and Amazon Fresh. These are the two online options the official Noosa site points shoppers to. Both deliver from a local store or a refrigerated fulfillment center, so the in-stock badge reflects real inventory near you.
- Amazon marketplace. Amazon lists Fresh inventory and shipped bundles side by side depending on your address. Only buy a shipped listing that spells out insulated packaging and coolant. Check current listings first.
- The brand site. Use its products page to confirm a flavor still exists and its store locator to find nearby stockists. Do this first when hunting something specific, because discontinued items linger in old roundups.
One rule we give readers for every perishable on this site applies doubly here: if a third-party seller does not say how it ships chilled, treat the listing as a no, however good the price looks.
Best Noosa Flavors by Reason to Buy
These picks are chosen for how reliably each one shows up on shelves and how well it matches a specific reason to buy, not on a taste test. For one outlet’s full opinions, Tasting Table has published a ranking of the lineup.
Best overall: Noosa Honey. The flagship, sold in both the 8 oz and multiserve sizes, which makes it the safest first buy. Check price on Amazon
Best everyday flavor: Noosa Strawberry Rhubarb. The rhubarb cuts the sweetness, so it reads less like candy than the straight berry versions, and it turns up as singles and in club 12-packs. Check price on Amazon
Best classic: Noosa Vanilla Bean. The neutral one. Good with granola, and one of only two varieties in the 24 oz size. Check price on Amazon
Best dessert swap: Key Lime. Belongs in the after-dinner slot rather than the breakfast one, next to the cheesecake-style options. Check price on Amazon
If you want it unsweetened: Plain. Plain did not appear on the brand’s products page when we checked, so treat any listing as old stock and read the date closely. If it is gone, Vanilla Bean is the least busy option that remains. Check price on Amazon
When Noosa Is the Wrong Pick
Skip it if protein per serving is the goal. Plain Greek yogurt, including Chobani, does that job better and lets you control sweetness with your own toppings. Kefir is a drinkable cultured milk with a thinner body and a tarter finish; our guide to buying kefir covers the same cold case.
If you reach for it after dinner, an actual dessert may serve you better for the same money. Mascarpone makes a richer base for fruit, Halo Top covers the lower-sugar frozen route, and our cheesecake buying guide covers the shortcuts. Avoid dairy? The current lineup has no plant-based version, and dairy-free substitutes behave differently, which our Daiya guide gets into.
The mistake we see most often is buying a multipack of something untasted on a short date. Shop in three steps instead:
- Confirm the flavor still exists on the brand’s products page, since the range rotates and old roundups list dead items.
- Buy two 8 oz cups in different varieties at Target or Walmart and eat them before deciding anything.
- Only then buy a multipack or club 12-pack, and read the printed date before it goes in the cart.
Start this week with a single cup of Honey or Strawberry Rhubarb from Target or Walmart. If it suits you, the 24 oz size or a 12-pack is the better-value way to keep noosa yoghurt in the fridge, and if the flavor you want is missing locally, check Instacart or Amazon Fresh before assuming it was discontinued.
Noosa Questions, Answered
Is Noosa made in Australia?
No. The brand says its yoghurt is made fresh from the milk of cows on Colorado farms. The name and recipe come from Noosa on Australia’s Sunshine Coast, where co-founder Koel Thomae first tasted it, but nothing about the product is imported.
Is noosa yogurt the same as Greek yogurt?
No, and the difference is what happens to the whey. The Greek style is strained, so the whey comes out and the remaining solids concentrate. Noosa keeps its whey, which is why it is smoother and richer, with different fat, sugar and protein figures on the panel as a result.
Is it healthy, or is it really a dessert?
It sits between the two. It is a whole milk cultured dairy product sweetened with fruit and honey, so it carries more sugar and fat than a strained low-fat yogurt and is no one-for-one swap for it. Read the nutrition panel and the live cultures statement on the pack you are buying rather than any figure quoted online.
Is noosa yoghurt gluten free?
Plain cultured yogurt contains no gluten, but mix-ins and Cheesecake Bites add toppings and crusts, and those are where wheat ingredients turn up. Formulations change, so the packaging is the only reliable answer. Read the ingredient list and the allergen statement in front of you.
Can you freeze it?
You can, but the texture will not survive intact. Freezing and thawing separates the cultured base and leaves it grainy. It works better eaten semi-frozen straight from the freezer, closer to frozen yogurt, than thawed and expected to come back.
Why did my favorite flavor disappear?
Because the range rotates on purpose. Seasonal flavors such as Pumpkin run for a window and then leave, and the brand has renamed several lines over the years. Retailers also drop slow sellers on their own, so something can vanish from your store while staying in production. The brand’s products page tells those two situations apart.
In October 2026, our editorial team re-checked ownership on the Campbell’s and Novus Foods sites and the lineup and retailer listings on the brand, Target, Smart & Final and Cub sites for this guide.
