Greek yoghurt has become a breakfast staple, with its thick, creamy texture and versatility making it a favourite for many. However, the leading brand Fage, often priced at £3 for a 450g tub, can be costly. A recent taste test compared three supermarket own brands to see if they could match Fage's quality at a lower price.
The test included fat-free Greek yoghurts from Aldi, Lidl, and M&S, alongside Fage. Each was evaluated for creaminess, texture, and taste. Fage scored highly for its thick, whipped-like texture and lack of sour aftertaste, but its price tag remains a drawback.
M&S offered a similar thickness but had a slightly sour aftertaste, though it was still recommended as a cheaper alternative. Lidl's version was noticeably thinner and blander, even with honey, making it the least impressive. Aldi's yoghurt, however, surprised the tester with its creamy and thick consistency, matching Fage in quality while being significantly cheaper.
The clear winner was Aldi's 0% Greek yoghurt, which proved that budget brands can rival premium options. The test concluded that shoppers can save money without sacrificing taste or texture by choosing supermarket own brands.
