Cyclops European Style Organic Yoghurt


Taste

Cyclops is from our good old neighbours NZ, so I'm glad that they are doing things as well as the aussies. This was more sour than I thought it would be, but for a low-fat yoghurt (only around 1% fat) these were extra creamy. According to the packaging they are cultured for longer than normal, maybe that's why. They were oh so yum.

  • banana - I wasn't too keen, tasting somewhat fake (maybe it's because I'm not used to organic bananas :))
  • Walnut & Honey - my favourite, the walnut was sweet and mixed well with the slightly sour yoghurt
  • Blueberry Burst
    - the blueberries were a little too sour and didn't go too well with the yoghurt
  • Lemon Honey - another successful pairing with the sweetness of the honey and the tanginess of the lemon
  • Chocolate Velvet
    - kinda strange. The chocolate itself was thick, and yes, velvety, but tasted really weird with the sour yoghurt

Look

This came in a tub with a cute lid that matches the flavour, so that means yellow, blue and brown! It was very cute (especially the little ones!) and the tub is supposed to be biodegradable too. The little sized ones comes with a spoon in the lid so you can take it anywhere. I don't know about that but I will definitely reuse it because it seals very very well. In fact, if you look on the website, they have pictures of reusing the containers.

$5.50 for 1 kg, very good for an organic product. About $2 for the 125g little size.
