HappyGoat PH was founded with one simple philosophy:
Real food should be made from real ingredients.
I'm Master Chef Jack Oz, founder of HappyGoat Processed Food Manufacturing. My culinary and professional journey has taken me across Türkiye, Australia, the United States, and the Philippines, where I developed a deep appreciation for authentic cuisine, traditional food craftsmanship, and the importance of producing food naturally.
Throughout my career, I've learned that exceptional food doesn't come from factories or artificial additives—it comes from quality ingredients, patience, knowledge, and respect for centuries-old traditions.
Learning from a Master
One of the greatest honors of my culinary journey was training under the late Master Chef Orhan Yeğen in New York City.
Chef Yeğen was widely respected as one of the pioneers of authentic Turkish cuisine in the United States. During a culinary career spanning more than four decades, he introduced generations of Americans to the rich diversity of Turkish cooking through renowned restaurants including Turkish Kitchen, Sip Sak, and later Lokanta in New York. His restaurants earned praise from respected food critics including The New York Times and The New Yorker for their authentic regional Turkish cuisine and uncompromising standards.
I had the privilege of receiving my professional training under Chef Yeğen, culminating in my apron-wearing ceremony, a meaningful tradition that symbolized my acceptance into the professional kitchen under his guidance.
More than teaching recipes, Chef Yeğen taught discipline, consistency, respect for ingredients, and the belief that authentic food should never be compromised for convenience. His philosophy was simple: every dish should honor its heritage while delivering genuine hospitality.
Those lessons continue to guide every product we create at HappyGoat PH.
Although Chef Orhan Yeğen is no longer with us, his passion for authentic Turkish cuisine lives on through the chefs he inspired, including myself. I remain deeply grateful for his mentorship and am proud to carry forward the traditional techniques, values, and craftsmanship that he shared with me.

These values became the foundation of HappyGoat PH.
Our Story
HappyGoat PH began in my own kitchen.
I originally created YogOz Turkish Yogurt for my family using only 100% natural cow's milk, fresh dairy cream, and carefully selected live cultures. I refused to compromise by adding preservatives, artificial thickeners, stabilizers, artificial flavors, or unnecessary chemicals.
Friends and family quickly encouraged me to share it with others, and what began as a personal passion evolved into HappyGoat PH—a company dedicated to producing authentic Mediterranean and Turkish-inspired foods using traditional preparation methods.
Today, every HappyGoat product is handcrafted in small batches with the same care and attention that went into the very first jar of YogOz.
Our Philosophy
At HappyGoat PH, we believe food should nourish the body without relying on artificial shortcuts.
Whenever possible, we prepare our products using glass, stainless steel, and porcelain equipment instead of plastic during food processing. We carefully select premium ingredients and traditional techniques to preserve natural flavor, texture, and nutritional value.
Our commitment is simple:
-
No artificial preservatives
-
No artificial colors
-
No artificial flavors
-
No unnecessary stabilizers
