Budget supermarket own-brand Greek-style yoghurts from Aldi and Lidl have been crowned joint winners in a blind taste test conducted by Which?, outperforming premium brands such as Yeo Valley and M&S while costing a fraction of the price.
Top Scorers and Prices
Aldi's Brooklea Greek-style Yoghurt, priced at just 95p for a 500g tub, was named a 'best buy' by Which?. It earned a top score of 77 per cent, with testers rating it highly for flavour and appearance. 80 per cent of participants said it had 'the perfect thickness and creaminess'. The 1kg size costs £1.49.
Lidl's Milbona Greek-style Natural Yoghurt also scored 77 per cent and was described as a 'fantastic value pick'. It costs £1.49 for 1kg. Three-quarters of tasters were satisfied with its creaminess.
Premium Brands Trail Behind
Yeo Valley's Organic Greek-style Natural Yoghurt (£2.25 for 450g) came in third with a score of 76 per cent. Testers praised its 'well-balanced flavour' and 'lovely creamy texture', but it lost points due to its higher price—more than double most own-brand options. A larger 950g tub costs £4, working out at 42p per 100g versus 50p for the smaller pot.
Sainsbury's Greek-style Natural Yoghurt (£1.15 for 500g) took fourth place with 74 per cent, described as a 'decent' yoghurt. Ocado's Greek-style Yoghurt (£1.15 for 500g) scored 73 per cent, impressing with 'good' flavour, texture, and thickness.
Lowest Rankings
M&S Greek-style Natural Yoghurt, Co-op Greek-style Natural Yoghurt, and Tesco Greek-style Yoghurt (all £1.15 for 500g except Co-op at £1.45) tied for last place with 71 per cent. Testers found Co-op's 'too sharp' and 'lacking creaminess', M&S 'not impressive' with no tang, and Tesco 'wasn't thick or creamy enough'.
Other brands tested included Asda, Morrisons, Tim's Dairy, and Waitrose Essential, all scoring 72 per cent.
Testing Methodology
The blind taste test was conducted by Which? in June 2026 with a panel of 64 regular yoghurt consumers, broadly representative of UK adults by age and gender. Yoghurts were served in random order in private booths to avoid bias. Ratings were based on 50 per cent flavour, 20 per cent appearance, 15 per cent aroma, and 15 per cent texture.
