About
Yogurt is a fermented dairy product that weighs about 8.9 ounces (251 grams) per cup, making it slightly denser than water.
Yogurt has a density of roughly 8.8 pounds per gallon (1.06 grams per milliliter), making it about six percent denser than pure water. Because fermentation thickens milk proteins, it packs slightly more mass into the same space than standard fluid milk. A standard quart container holding 32 fluid ounces (946 milliliters) holds about 2.2 pounds (1,000 grams) of yogurt. It is close in density to sour cream, but far less dense than heavy syrups or nut butters.
From Wikipedia
Yogurt, also spelled yoghurt, is a food produced by bacterial fermentation of milk. The bacteria ferment the sugars in the milk and produce lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to give yogurt its texture and characteristic tart flavor.
