Danona/Strauss and Machlevat haShomron both make Greek yogurt, both available at Rami Levi and often at Osher Ad. You didn't say where you live.

I have not seen low fat Greek yogurt here. The lowest fat is 7%

If you can't find any, make your own by pouring regular yogurt into a cheesecloth-lined strainer set over a bowl to collect the liquid that drains off. Let stand in the fridge several hours or until the yogurt reaches the thickness you like. Save the drained whey for making dairy-based soup, add it to milkshakes, or drink it straight, as it contains a great deal of calcium.

You can use fat-free yogurt, low fat, or whole milk yogurt, whichever floats your boat. Even the fat free becomes incredibly creamy and thick.

Thanks. I am in Yerushalayim.
Do you know what hechsherim these yoghurts have? I was in Osher Ad in Givat Shaul yesterday and couldn't see any, maybe I just didn't know what to look for though!
