Our Story
What began as Simon Reynolds' single stall at the Adelaide Central Market has grown into a brand loved nationally and internationally, with products now stocked across major Australian retailers and exported to markets throughout Asia, the Middle East and North America.
At the heart of it all is a simple belief: the best things are worth taking your time over. While the rest of the world rushes forward, we've built our reputation on patience and tradition — hand-straining every batch of yoghurt, not once but twice, using a technique that's as time-honoured as it is precise. It's not about what we add; it's about what we take away, starting with the finest local milk from South Australian farms and finishing with a texture that's uniquely thick and unmistakably ours.
Still family-owned and operated more than 20 years on, The Yoghurt Shop has held tight to its roots while branching out across the globe — a business where tradition meets innovation, and every spoonful tells a story of dedication and care.

The Opportunity
There's plenty of road still ahead, and we're ready for the next chapter. We are now looking for a Chief Operating Officer who can help take the business to the next level. This role has arisen due to an internal promotion and will see the successful candidate join the executive leadership team at an exciting point in the company's journey.
Chief Operating Officer
We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys building great businesses.
Reporting directly to the CEO and based at the Burton manufacturing facility, you'll lead operational performance across the business, overseeing Production, Quality, Logistics, Maintenance and Customer Service functions.

The Craft Behind Our Yoghurt
There are no shortcuts, additives or unnecessary thickeners. Just carefully cultured yoghurt, strained by hand and made with the kind of attention to detail that has shaped The Yoghurt Shop from day one.
This is handcrafted Greek yoghurt made properly — with patience, skill and respect for the process.
Handmade in South Australia
Every day, our small team makes, strains and packs yoghurt in our South Australian factory.
Every batch is cultured, checked, strained and packed by people who know that the small details matter.
We don’t believe in rushing what matters. We believe in doing it properly, every time.
Ingredients Chosen with Intention
Nothing is added without reason. Every fruit swirl, crumble, chocolate note or vanilla fleck is there to create balance, texture and flavour that feels genuinely satisfying.
Still Made the Way It Should Be
We’ve grown since that first Adelaide Central Market stall, but the way we make yoghurt hasn’t changed at its core.
It’s still made in South Australia. Still crafted with care. Still hand-strained. Still focused on real ingredients, thick texture and honest flavour.
The world moves quickly, but we’ve never believed great yoghurt should be rushed.
That’s what makes The Yoghurt Shop different — and it’s what you can taste in every spoonful.
