A blind taste test of supermarket own-brand Greek yoghurts has revealed Aldi and M&S as top contenders, with Lidl falling short. The comparison, conducted by a regular Greek yoghurt consumer, pitted Aldi, M&S, and Lidl's 0% fat versions against market leader Fage.
Fage, priced at £3.75 for a 450g tub, was praised for its thick, creamy texture and dessert-like taste with no sour aftertaste. However, its high cost prompted the search for cheaper alternatives.
M&S's 0% fat Greek yoghurt, priced lower than Fage, impressed initially with its smooth texture but disappointed with a slight sour aftertaste. Despite this, it was deemed a decent alternative for Fage fans on a budget.
Aldi's 0% Greek yoghurt, matching Lidl's low price, surprised the tester with its creamy and thick texture, rivaling Fage. It was so popular that the tester had to visit two stores to find it.
Lidl's Milbona Greek yoghurt, despite its attractive Greek-inspired foil lid, was notably thinner and blander than the others, even with honey. The tester concluded it was not worth repurchasing.
