Greek yoghurt has become a breakfast staple, with Fage leading the market. But at over £3 for a 450g tub, the cost adds up. A taste test of supermarket own-brand versions found Aldi's offering outperformed Fage and Lidl at a fraction of the price.
The test compared Fage with 0% fat Greek yoghurts from Aldi, M&S and Lidl. Fage scored highly for its thick, creamy texture and dessert-like flavour, but its price is a drawback. M&S provided a creamy taste but had a slightly sharp aftertaste.
Lidl's Milbona Greek yoghurt was thinner and less flavourful, despite its attractive packaging. The tester noted it lacked the density of Fage and M&S, and would not buy it again.
Aldi's 0% Greek yoghurt, priced the same as Lidl, was the clear winner. It matched Fage in creaminess and texture, but at a much lower cost. The tester described it as surpassing Fage and being a worthy alternative for budget-conscious shoppers.
