Hastings Valley Dairy Country style Yoghurt

Taste

I tried a few different products from their range. The lemon myrtle & honey set the precedence. The subtle sweetness of the lemon myrtle combined well with the honey and vanilla yoghurt. It was a bit different, tasting a bit like ice-cream. The honey & walnut met my high expectations. The walnut a bit more subtle than lemon but adding a bit of spiciness. Lastly, the country biscuit reminds me of cookies & cream ice cream. The sweetness of the biscuits went quite well with the creamy yoghurt. The yoghurt itself was thick and creamy, but this is helped along by the addition of gelatine.

Not long after that, I had the pleasure of trying some non-Australian flavours, Apricot lite - which was not very spectacular at all, tasting like all the other apricots, except thankfully, less sweet, and Vanilla and Hazelnuts which had very little hazelnut or vanilla taste at all. I was disappointed after such success with the Aussie flavours.

Rating - Aussie flavours - 7.5, Others - 6

Look

The yoghurt is set in its own tub, and looks quite creamy. The lid is reseable, but I finished all of mine in one go ;p

C-factor

200g $1.30, quite good value for a "boutique" yoghurt.
