From what I can gather, gil is leben with 3% fat and eshel is leben with 4.5%. But what is it? I once tried to ask our tipat chalav nurse (after she invited me to ask her anything) and she shouted me down that leben is not yogurt and don't use it. I'm thinking that maybe it's a by-product of the milk with limited nutritional value?Rachel Selbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13113411205306116614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269979802232920715.post-81971851510428152072012-08-21T16:13:58.849+03:002012-08-21T16:13:58.849+03:00Yes, I checked too!

Eshel and Gil (leben) are much much cheaper. I forgot to look up the calcium content of the leben though. We don't drink much milk so that's important to me.
