But first; what is Icelandic Yoghurt?

So we have never heard of Icelandic Yoghurt either – Greek Yoghurt, but not Icelandic. Apparently, it is a product that originates from the 9th Century, and is a strained yoghurt, just as Greek Yoghurt is, but it is lower in sugar and thicker and creamier than its Greek counterpart. It takes three times as much milk to make this type of yoghurt than standard ones. It is also full of calcium (so great for kids whose bones need a little growth boost), and protein, as well as being fat free and low sugar.

Tell us more about Skyr yoghurt

Skyr yoghurt is made by the Graham’s Family Dairy in Scotland, from Scottish milk sourced from the company’s 100 farming partners throughout the region. It is a cultured dairy product, and available in five flavours:

  • Natural,
  • Lemon,
  • Strawberry,
  • Victoria Plum, and
  • Passion Fruit, Mango and Papaya.

But what does it actually TASTE like?

Looks gorgeous, thick and creamy, don’t you think. Particularly in a bowl of healthy cereal to start the day…?

It has 30% less sugar than other flavoured yogurts, so you would expect that it doesn’t taste as sweet. However, alongside the smooth and satisfyingly thick texture, the biggest surprise to us all, including the kids, was that it didn’t taste like this. Despite the reduction in sugar content, the yoghurt doesn’t taste more tart, which can happen when producing lower sugar alternatives. The choices of fruit flavours, which do tend to be those with a sweeter taste, seems to balance the drop in sugar content well.

We thoroughly enjoyed a spot of yoghurt in the morning, and a lovely dollop on our breakfast cereal. If you like the look of this, why not sign up to be a taste tester for the company so you can try new products like this before ANYONE else?

It is great to pop in a lunchbox too for the kids, particularly as it has less sugar (and zero fat) than standard yoghurts.

In addition to the strong flavours from the fruit, and a good texture, it is refreshing that The Graham’s Family Dairy is based in Britain. If you are looking to reduce the carbon footprint of the food that you buy; this is a positive purchase consideration. Some of the other yoghurts on our shelves are manufactured and shipped from Germany, and France. Not something that is going to help you keep sustainability in mind when doing your weekly shop for the family.
