Your favourite Greek (or Greek style yogurt)

[WildFlowerBees]

I used to have Fage 0% but I find it too sour so tried Yeo Valley Greek style which is better more creamy. But I'm still on the hunt for the best creamy yogurt full of good bacteria not really full fat as I dislike the taste but without that tangy aftertaste.

I add honey to mine but I'd love to be able to eat it straight.

Any recommendations?

Tims raspberry, delicious!

I usually buy the Aldi 10% one which is great but I had the lidl one a few weeks ago and it is absolutely fantastic.

The terms aren't used consistently though, and not all 'Greek Style' is stirable and gloopy. The Lancashire Farm 'Greek style' is set and strained and solid, like Farge, for e.g.

Fage. Winner every time!

Tim’s yoghurt is perfection. I only wish they’d bring their passion fruit and Mango and Tumeric varieties back. Gutted when they went :(

Sainsburys taste the difference authentic Greek yoghurt, full fat is delicious.

The 0 fat one is Ok but no where near as good as full fat, it's really creamy and can just be eaten plain.

They are not yoghurt, they're quark which is a soft cheese. They are nice though, the white chocolate one is good.

The one from Lidl is the best.

Tim’s is so good. It’s ruined all other yogurts for me. We get it from the milkman but think Waitrose sells it.

I think personally the sourness is to do with it being 0% fat. The higher fat ones are delicious on their own

Greek yogurt is supposed to be a bit sour. It's also supposed to be thick enough to stand the spoon up in. If it moves around the pot when you tilt it it isn't proper Greek yogurt. They aren't straining it enough, probably to sell you more water per Kg.

Fage 5% is the best I've tried, but it's £5.80 for 900g so I only buy it on offer.

Fage 0% is indeed sour, but not in a good way.

The Greek 'style' yogurts I avoid like the plague. They just don't have the right taste or texture. Many are indeed thick, but more like eating whipped heavy cream. Some also have a chalky and nasty aftertaste.

Tim's. I have to make a special trip to Waitrose each week.

My Greek friend says that in the UK , Fage 5% fat is the nearest he’s found to real Greek yoghurt.

For information only but since the OP likes the Yeo Valley Greek Style yogurt I should point out that Sainsbury's Greek Style (called 'house yogurt' by my kids) and the Co-Op Greek Style yogurts taste very similar.

I would assume the bitter taste of the 0% fat yogurt is because of the lack of fat and the addition of whatever they add to make it thick when there is no fat.

I thought the difference between greek yogurt and greek style is that greek yogurt is made with goats milk and greek style is made with cows milk. I prefer the tanginess of greek style over the creaminess of greek (but know others might differ).

Tim's Dairy is the absolute best...they're a lovely small family run business too. Try it, the plain one is delicious, and the flavoured ones are amazing too.

Total 5% or M & S 10%. I buy both and like them both equally. Didn't like Aldi - in comparison, not as creamy or rich

Lidl full fat. I eat it every day with fruit. Tried all the rest and this is the best.
Lancashire farm, Aldi, Yeo, not as thick and creamy.

I came on to say the same!

I love Greek yoghurts and have shopped around loads to find the best, and Tesco Finest is my favourite, closely followed by the Waitrose one.

After extensive research (!) I've found Aldi is the best.

The Waitrose one

If you any Greek/Turkish food shops near you, that’s where you get the best yoghurts.

The Waitrose 1 range have one with fat and one without. I was surprised by the zero fat one as it had a much better mouth-feel than I was expecting. But, the one with fat is absolutely lovely and I use it in so many things - savoury as well as sweet. Yum!

I love home made yogurt the most. I make mine using store bought Balkan style natural yogurt.

i made greek yogurt yesterday. Starter was the M&S 10% Authentic, full fat uht milk . 8 hours in the yogurt maker and then the whey drained from it. It is lovely today

A little update, we've tried most of the suggestions except Aldi & Lidl as we don't have any close by. Tim's Dairy is the favourite. Absolutely lovely and very moorish, no tang just creamy lovely yogurt. Thank you!
