Product Review: Glenisk Raspberry Yoghurt

Glenisk the Irish organic dairy have recently re-branded. I have long been a fan of their organic milk. The full fat version, which until now has been the only cows milk available, is gorgeous. I don't usually use full fat milk but this one is sooo yummy that I just have to treat myself now and then. I started using the yogurts a little while ago and although they were tasty enough I was always disappointed that they didn't have any chunks. Part of the pleasue of a yogurt is to bite into the fruity chunks, it's the best bit just like the orange centre a Jaffa Cake.

At first sight the new packaging doesn't really do it for me. I liked the old fashioned style graphics that used to adorn the milk cartons. One bonus however is that the milk now comes in a regular 1 litre size, the smaller 750ml cartons used to run out way too quickly. Another improvement is the new low fat version, this means I can use it all the time.

I buy the single portion sized yogurts to bring to work with me, that only flavours available at my local supermarket were natural and raspberry. So I bought the raspberry. At 11am I sat down for my tea break and peeled back the lid. To my delight the new improved Glenisk yogurt now included chunks! The yogurt itself remains the lovely creamy satisfying flavour that it always was and although raspberry isn't really the best flavour to judge chunks on, it was great to have them there. I can't wait to taste the other flavours.

It is also worth mentioning that the yogurt is described on the packaging as low fat. I often find that low fat yogurts contain gelatine and as a vegetarian this is a big no no. I was pleased to find that the Glenisk yogurt was marked as suitable for vegetarians and was completely gelatine free.

Glenisk products are available in health food shops and supermarkets country wide. Their products are certified organic by IOFGA
