Hi, the woman in the newspaper article you mentioned actually bought the Brooklea 'Greek Style' yoghurt rather than the Brooklea 'Greek' yoghurt. The 'Greek Style' yoghurt is a runny yoghurt. They look similar on the shelf but are two different products.
I've tried the 0% fat Brooklea Greek yoghurt, it's 62cals per 100g & 10g protein compared to Fage 0% fat which is 53cals & 10.5g protein. I found the Brooklea to be very similar to Fage but with a plasticky smell & aftertaste. I prefer Fage but it's about £2 more expensive than Brooklea.
Hi there! Thank you for the clarification about the newspaper article. We found the Brooklea one to be quite different to Fage, especially when it came to thickness (Fage a lot thicker) and taste. You are correct in that the Brooklea one has a plasticky aftertaste, not the tangy one you'd expect from a Greek yoghurt.
Glad you are reviewing with good detail, these products, so the discerning who want quality can get the best that's available.
Tony
Thank you Tony!
Answered my questions about this yogurt that I had been pondering. Thank you for the review. My questions arises because it does not list lactobacillus which normally in Greek yogurt despite being called authentic Greek yogurt.
To be honest I haven't seen lactobacillus been listed in Greek yoghurts or standard plain yoghurts (in the UK, at least), unless the yoghurt is specifically marketed as being probiotic. I guess it may have to do with legislation/regulations that might not require a Greek yoghurt to list the helpful bacteria it contains as it is a given :)
Any more info on this? It doesn't say it's 'live' either. I'd like to know what has been heat treated/processed or anything added that they don't need to be stated on the label
This review was so helpful because I take a lot of it to help me loose weight. I was concerned so I checked for reviews. This is so helpful
Thank you so much for your comments. We are really glad you found this review helpful, especially as you try to look after your weight. In some of out other videos we have also pointed out that a lot of fat-free and reduced-fat youghurts (not just Greek ones) are not as healthy as they seem, because companies add sugars and sweeteners to them to make them palatable. So, you need to check the sugar content in them too.
U can look at the initials of where product is from they will always have the details at the back of product GB is Great Britain, GR is Greece IT Italy and so forth
Hi there. You are correct. However, this product did not have any such initials which made us suspicious that it may not be a Greek product at all.
It's pretty hit or miss. I bought a tub and it was super thick and creamy. I could literally turn the spoon upside down and none would fall off. Then I bought another and it was like water.
You're absolutely right. That particular brand is not consistent at all.
I think this is similar to 'Labneh' (a middle eastern strained yogurt), it's English translation is the same as the normal yogurt, that's why the taste differs.
Hi Sarah. You could be right in that it's more like a labneh. All the more reasons not to call it a Greek Yoghurt :)
See, what I found very weird when trying to buy this product is it doesn't advertise any live cultures. On almost all Greek or even Greek-Style Yoghurts they advertise the fact there is live cultures in the product. People know these are good for you and want to buy it for that reason so why wouldn't they advertise that fact on their product ?? Makes me think this is some fake product on top of the stuff you mention in the video... Has there been an update on this?
No update, I'm afraid.I guess we're too small of a channel to respond :) Last time we checked we could not find it on the shelves either, so it could be that it has been discontinued or that it's selling too fast!
I bought some yesterday and on the ingredient list it says it is yoghurt cultures (L.bulgaricus, S.thermophilus) and its very thick and has the taste of authentic Greek yoghurt so I’m expecting it’s different now.
@@vaqhd5350 Interesting! I'm going to look at that next time I'm at Aldi - hopefully that is the case as I would like a cheaper yoghut alternative to Fage when making tsatiki
Is this a live yoghurt
Hi Jo.No, it was not live yoghurt. Still trying to figure what it actually was :)
It doesn’t even say that it’s produced in Greece now, it just says it’s authentic Greek yogurt, I would have thought it should say “produce of Greece”, most other foreign products say “produce of *”. I came here from trying to research its true origin, still no more enlightened!🤔
dont forget to support the e. union.
Hi there. Not sure what you mean by 'support the e union'. Can you please clarify?
@@Greekosophy sure. What yousre complining about is made possible by the european union. My comment was rather ironical because so many greeks support the european union.
@@urielseuthes7484 Oh, I see. To be honest, I don't think this is a European Union issue. Unlike Feta cheese, Greek yoghurt does not have a Protected Designation of Origiin (PDO) status so Brexit did not really affect the use of the term 'Greek yoghurt'. Back in 2014, the Court of Appeal in the UK ruled against Chobani (a US brand of yoghurt) and stopped it from labelling its products 'Greek' in the UK, as they were produced in the USA. So, it seems that the term 'Greek yoghurt' cannot be used in the EU or in the UK, unless it is produced in Greece. Which is why I found the specific product confusing, because it did not have the usual logos that you expect to see in all Greek products exported to the EU and the UK.
@@Greekosophy Thanks for the info. Could it be the elshami alternative, imported in large quantities then packaged here? I'd be very interested to know when you have an update as I buy this yoghurt from Aldi all the time and would like to be sure I'm buying a genuine product with the expected health benefits.
@@CT-oi4ln Thank you for the comment. We will certainly let everyone know once we have had an update about this yoghurt. The mystery continues for the time being! :)
