Where's the yogurts

Everytime I go shopping it's the same, the search for a fruit yogurt. I find the flippy ones, protein ones, ones for cholesterol but just no tart tangy ones

My all time favourite is Lancashire natural plain yogurt.
You can flavour it. Use it for cheesecake filling, or a Victoria sponge cake filling.

Longley farm yoghurts, delicious, tangy, made with real fruit no artificial sweeteners, been around since the year dot and still going strong, usually in our local Morrisons

I use to like their hazelnut yogurt but haven’t seen them for a very long time.

Not a huge yogurt eater, but I eat occasionally the Lidl Greek yogurt and they also do a nice lemon and also a lime one. I love citrus flavours

I buy my own Greek yoghurt and add my own fruit

I've just come back to this, I thought it wasn't a very interesting subject but look at all the lovely replies

I used to make yoghurt in a thermos flask. It was very easy but I can’t remember what I did but it would have been very straightforward as I am not much of a chef.
Greek style yoghurt is very different to Greek yoghurt and the latter is the best. I didn’t know m and s sell them and will check it out.

I used to make my own yogurt and strain it so it was thicker. I’m happy to have it plain, no sweeteners. I’m buying M&S full fat Greek (not Greek-style) yogurt now. It’s lovely and you don’t need much because it’s so rich.

We’re trying Lid’s Greek 10% today with flat peaches and raspberries - peach Melba 👍☘️🤞

Far too many options

I purchase Greek Yogurt in the Tub from Lidl in The Madrid Capital.

I add a little fresh seasonal fruit per serving ..

Is nobody making their own? I believe its do-able with or without a slow cooker. I make butter too and may try cheese!
Or just keep eating the "addictive" ones that nobody reads the ingredients of ?

Longley Farm plain yoghurt has two ingredients, milk and live yoghurt cultures. The flavoured ones have added fruit and unrefined fairtrade cane sugar.

I did make my own though back in the day. I probably still have that yoghurt maker at the back of a cupboard. Tbh it didn’t taste anywhere near as good as theirs.

Ditto, although the yogurt maker has long gone.

I buy Oykos fruit yoghurts, Tesco.

Me too, they are delicious.

I've been making our own with just milk and 'starter' saved from the last batch, though replaced every so often with half a carton of Yoe live natural. The only equipment needed is a pan, a thermometer and a large vacuum flask to maintain the temperature while it thickens.

But OH is the yoghurt-eater in the house and he's just announced that he isn't keen on it and wants to go back to using Faje.

I eat Fage yogurt every morning, have done for years and have never had any difficulty finding it in the supermarkets until now. My local Sainsbury has been out of stock of it for the last couple of weeks, I picked up two pots in another branch yesterday but there were only half a dozen on the shelf. Very odd.

dlizi4 I'm sure lots of us can make our own yogurt and lots of us do read ingredients!
And which are "addictive" ones anyway?

We have both reading ingredients and making our own yogurt, kefir, and occasionally soft cheese since the 1970s. We won't be the only ones...

But there's no use making small quantities in my opinion (especially kefir).
So... like other people, (and as there aren't 7 of us anymore) we can afford to buy Yeo Valley or similar natural yogurt.
We still make kefir.

We don't sweeten either our kefir or yogurt but know our grandchildren like a sweeter yogurt - served with fruit and, if needed, a little maple syrup or honey.

Just because we can do something doesn't mean we "ought to".

We get Longley Farm yoghurts and cottage cheese in Morrisons here in North Notts. Fage plain yoghurt is also good with added fresh fruit and raw honey if you feel a need for some sweetening.

I buy a natural yogurt now and just add my own ‘whatever’ if you put fresh or frozen berries in the microwave for a bit and add it can make it tarty

Greek yoghurt works well with fresh or frozen berries..And a drip of honey..Yummy.

The tart, tangy ones are up around Holmfirth / Huddersfield - the Longley farm lemon yoghurts are to die for.
Sadly, I haven't lived in that area for many years, and can no longer find any near to where I live now.

Longley Farm yoghurts are lovely. Ditto the cottage cheese. I never liked it until I discovered Longley Farm’s, and now I’m addicted. smile

I’m not a fan of fruit yogurts , too much sugar . I have Fage Greek yogurt and add fruit or nuts to it. Or any authentic Greek yogurt.

Apparently Lidls Greek yogurt is supposed to be the best.

Lidl Greek style natural yoghurt is excellent.

I can’t understand why anyone would buy a flavoured yoghurt, it’s so easy to add fruit, honey, coconut etc.

Biscuitmuncher..where are you in the country ? If you go to Longley farm website it gives you a map of all areas it's sold in, all over the country, not just here in Yorkshire.

Longley farm use to be sold in homebargains. I loved the cottage cheese with chives. Cheap as chips!
