This is the feedback thread for the Mumsnet users with a child aged 6-24 months, who tested Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot. All selected testers were given vouchers to buy 1 x 340g pot.

Here’s what Yeo Valley have to say:
“Little Yeos just got bigger. Joining our family of organic fromage frais is our new Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot. Our Natural Fromage Frais is made with mild cultures and is extra thick and creamy, making it perfect for weaning. With no added sugar, parents can trust this big pot to be full of natural goodness for their baby and great for bigger kids too. All this goodness comes in a bigger pot, which gives you more fromage frais and 1/3 less plastic than our 6 packs. No ifs, no buts and never any nasties.

Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais can be used as a dip, blended with veg, served with fruit, decanted into reusable pots for lunchboxes, stirred into baby meals to cool them down, eaten on its own and so much more - so get creative!”

MummyVaughan13 · 16/09/2019 14:20

What was your overall opinion of Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais?

I thought it was great. It tasted really creamy and it didnt have that sour tang you get with some plain, zero sugar yogurts.

  • If Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot was on sale at a price acceptable to you, would you buy the product in future or not?

Most definitely.

  • How did you use Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais for your children?

I put it with fruit, on pancakes and even in some porridge to cool it down and make it creamier.

  • What did you and your child like about Little Yeos Natural Fromage that you tried?

I liked that it was a smaller in size than most so it all got used where i find i end up wasting others. My kids likes the thickness and smoothness of the yogurt.

  • Would you recommend Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot to a friend or family member with a young child

If it were to come up in conversation i would recommend it

SquigglePigs · 16/09/2019 15:19

Very impressed, great quality and flavour was lovely
  • If Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot was on sale at a price acceptable to you, would you buy the product in future or not? I might do. I tend to stay away from the big pots as we never need them all.

  • If Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot was on sale at a price acceptable to you, would you buy the product in future or not? Yes probably, would like to see a range of flavours
  • How did you use Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais for your children? I will admit that my daughter perhaps found it a bit too ‘yoghurty’ plain, but after mixing some puréed fruit through she really enjoyed it as a dessert.
  • What did you and your child like about Little Yeos Natural Fromage that you tried? Ability to choose how much to give rather than having to open an extra small pot and waste it
  • Would you recommend Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot to a friend or family member with a young child? Yes definitely worth trying
Thehopefuldesigner · 16/09/2019 21:08

My son enjoyed the Fromage Frais! He had it plain for the most part and it was a nice snack. The size was perfect and lasted about 2 days. I think it's a great way to make a quick snack with fruit or add to dishes or have for breakfast. Definitely see myself purchasing it again!

Missmagpie1 · 17/09/2019 08:33

LadyThrower · 17/09/2019 09:44

What was your overall opinion of Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais?

A handy big pot you can use as much or as little as you need. The recommended uses was clever and less plastic used was appealing

  • If Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot was on sale at a price acceptable to you, would you buy the product in future or not?

I would. I actually brought one natural and one strawberry so we could get a good taste of both flavours. My daughter chose the natural one first and demolished it in 4 days even wanting more!

  • How did you use Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais for your children?

Mainly as a yoghurt with a broken up fruit bar in it or just as a yoghurt. Though we did try the strawberry in porridge to help cool and thicken it though we would have needed to have added less or more than we did as none of us liked the taste :/ it would have worked better with the natural

  • What did you and your child like about Little Yeos Natural Fromage that you tried?

The flavour was lovely. Would be great to see more choice of flavours. I would love to try using the natural one in recipes as it wasn't an over powering flavour and nice to see plain flavour available for children as my daughter loves vanilla but there aren't many fromage frais or yoghurts available for children

  • Would you recommend Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot to a friend or family member with a young child?

I certainly would. It's great for kids and the whole family.

DEFINITELY AS YOU CAN TAKE WHAT YOU NEED, NO WASTE
jewels3000 · 17/09/2019 10:43

My overall opinion is positive. It has a nice taste which my child enjoyed, and I think it can be used in several ways too which is a bonus.

I would buy it at a reasonable price.

I used it in two ways - one with fresh berries added for added colour, flavour and taste. And also I made frozen yoghurt treats with them.

I would recommend this product. I do like the smaller sized individual pots that I generally buy but I do feel there is sometimes a need for a bigger sized pot like this when you have other things to make.

EmilyK83 · 17/09/2019 11:23

Annoyingly I haven't used the voucher yet but HAVE bought it - ended up at one of the Tesco stores that stocks it by chance and left the voucher at home!

  • What was your overall opinion of Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais?

Really positive. We buy the Yeo Valley brand anyway, but loved this: nice and thick and creamy, smooth and nowhere near as "tangy" as I was expecting considering its unsweetened.

  • If Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot was on sale at a price acceptable to you, would you buy the product in future or not?

Absolutely.

  • How did you use Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais for your children?

Oscar enjoyed it both on its own and with fruit for breakfasts. I've also used it stirred through reheated food to cool it down, as well as to make creamy sauces.

  • What did you and your child like about Little Yeos Natural Fromage that you tried?

The flavour and the texture were both a hit - for both me and DS! I also like the size of the pot...individual toddler yoghurt/fromage frais pots are generally too small for him!

  • Would you recommend Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot to a friend or family member with a young child?

Absolutely. Trusted brand (and local to me, which is an added bonus), a great product with no nasties, and a flavour that was a big hit.

xgembeanx · 17/09/2019 16:50
  • What was your overall opinion of Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais?
i liked the fact that it comes in a big pot meaning i can recover it and use again later on in the day. also the fact that we could add it other food aswell like fruit and it makes a lovely healthy breakfast.
  • If Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot was on sale at a price acceptable to you, would you buy the product in future or not?
yes i would certainly biy this product again.
  • How did you use Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais for your children?
we used it on fruit in the morning as breakfast, for a treat after meals which the kids loved! we also added a little bit to wholemeal pasta and it just made it all the more delicious.
  • What did you and your child like about Little Yeos Natural Fromage that you tried?
we loved the flavour. it wasnt too overpowering. and it wast to thick either which made it easier for my son to eat.
  • Would you recommend Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot to a friend or family member with a young child?

westcountrychicken · 18/09/2019 10:02
  • What was your overall opinion of Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais?
It was quite a small pot for the size, it didn't last my two (age 5 and 1) very long.
  • If Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot was on sale at a price acceptable to you, would you buy the product in future or not?
I don't understand how the plain frontage frais is different to plain live yoghurt so probably not as too small and expensive, I'll stick to our usual Little Yeos
  • How did you use Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais for your children?
With banana and honey for pudding
  • What did you and your child like about Little Yeos Natural Fromage that you tried?
They love yoghurt and having it with honey was a treat

Unsure
rachaelsit · 18/09/2019 10:25

What was your overall opinion of Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais?

It was nice, but obviously similar to other plain yoghurts. Texture and thickness was good as that varies hugely between products

  • If Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot was on sale at a price acceptable to you, would you buy the product in future or not?

I would yesterday because I like the brand overall.

  • How did you use Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais for your children?

we Used it plain and in smoothies (although the latter a bit wasteful as it could be any other brand regards thickness)
We added honey and had it with granola too (older two)

  • What did you and your child like about Little Yeos Natural Fromage that you tried?
The older two didn’t like it as much without the honey or added fruit purée. The baby liked it.
  • Would you recommend Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot to a friend or family member with a young child

Yes I would, a little less plastic waste, good brand and no nasties for tiny ones (and their bigger siblings!!)

Vickij59 · 18/09/2019 12:35

We have just come back from holiday to find our voucher. Will have to try our big tesco store when I have a spare few minutes. We are all looking forward to trying the yogurt though as we are yeo yogurt fans Smile

JessGG · 18/09/2019 14:21
  • What was your overall opinion of Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais?

Thought it was brilliant. I give my boys the Little Yeos individual yoghurts and fromage frais but the larger size has given me greater flexibility with portion size, and I'm sure it's less packaging too.

  • If Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot was on sale at a price acceptable to you, would you buy the product in future or not?

Absolutely, I've found it on Ocado so am going to buy weekly - looking forward to trying the strawberry one!

  • How did you use Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais for your children?

My toddler tried it alone and then I also gave it to my 8,7 and 4 year olds to try with a little honey and some banana.

  • What did you and your child like about Little Yeos Natural Fromage that you tried?

It was so thick and creamy, felt like a lovely greek yoghurt. My boys loved it.

  • Would you recommend Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot to a friend or family member with a young child?

Absolutely, I have done already and my sister's children are enjoying it now.

Busydrinkingcoffee1 · 18/09/2019 15:03

-What was your overall opinion of Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais? DS wasn't a fan, he didn't like the taste and refused to eat more than a mouthful unfortunately. I tasted it and it tasted ok but didn't stand out from any of the other possibly cheaper brands.

  • If Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot was on sale at a price acceptable to you, would you buy the product in future or not? Unlikely we would buy this again, did notice it was on sale in Tesco anyway at a reasonable price. Would possibly try the flavoured one instead in the future.
  • How did you use Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais for your children? Served with fruit for dessert for DS
  • What did you and your child like about Little Yeos Natural Fromage that you tried? Unfortunately DS didn't like the taste but the pot size was good and it's a reliable recognisable brand, tub looked appealing.
  • Would you recommend Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais Big Pot to a friend or family member with a young child? Probably not but wouldn't discourage and may change our minds after trying a flavoured one!

AgentCooper · 18/09/2019 18:03
  • What was your overall opinion of Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais?
Very nice! At first I thought the pot was a bit small but it’s rich so you don’t need much. DS (23 months) enjoyed it.

He only had a few spoonfuls when I gave it to him plain but it is quite rich. He definitely preferred it mixed in with raspberries and blueberries.

Tasted like a lovely quality product, didn’t have to take much out of the pot for DS (so it would last a few breakfasts) and the recyclable packaging.

Yes
Ilovechocolate01 · 18/09/2019 18:48

What was your overall opinion of Little Yeos Natural Fromage Frais?
I'm happy with the product but would buy the strawberry/flavoured FF. My DS didn't like the natural flavour it was too bland

Yes but not very often as there currently isn't enough variety in the flavours.

After a main meal, with fruit as a dessert

I liked the size of the product it would last a few days. I also liked how the packaging could be opened and recycled
