Swees Moves Into Chilled Dairy Alternatives With Soy Yogurt Range

Swees, a Thai plant-based producer known for its cheese products, has expanded into the chilled dairy alternatives market with a new soy-based yogurt range. The Swees Vegan Yogurt is made from organic soybeans grown in Chiang Mai and blended with coconut milk. The products are positioned as lactose-free, free from preservatives, and contain live cultures.

The range includes three variants at launch: Original, Strawberry, and Greek Original. The Greek variant is high in protein, while the strawberry variant contains real fruit pieces. Swees has not disclosed specific retailers, pricing, or pack formats for the yogurt. Founded by Nicolas Frauenfelder, Swees has also expanded into plant-based meat and pizza products, with a focus on sourcing local organic soybeans for its dairy alternatives, which is a common base in Southeast Asia due to consumer familiarity and local supply chains.
