The Life and Times of a Yogurt Pioneer

Daniel Carasso, who helped turn Dannon yogurt from a small family operation to a global company, died last week at 103.  

What was once a traditional yet obscure "ethnic" food is now so much a staple, we rarely give pause to the fact that sixty, seventy years ago, it was still considered a strange specialty product.

As someone who loves yogurt, I found this to be an interesting read. Nobody does tasteful obituaries like the Times.
