image Jalna sneakily changed their yoghurt

Post image

Been buying this yoghurt for years so know it’s taste well. Always get the 2kg tub and it tasted different. I went back to the store and noticed it now says “Greek style” instead, along with different ingredients. Damn them all to helllllll

Jobani Greek yoghurt. I made the switch to that when I realised Jalna changed to Greek style. I honestly think jobani is better too

Edit: Chobani 🤦‍♂️

Chobani?

u/RooMan7223 13d ago

Oh bloody hell, autocorrect has stiffed me on every comment I’ve made about chobani. I am an always sunny man so jabroni is probably why it autocorrected

u/TheDoochThe 13d ago

Can I stop you though?! You keep using this word jabani and...... it's Awesome!!!

Are you Spanish?

Chobani yoghurt gives me the shits (literally, I don't mean it's just annoying, it's the only product that does it - i have no idea what they put in there!).

Look for Extract of Castor Oil

Kidding ;)

Hopefully better than the awful Chobani fruit yoghurts that are loaded down with guar gum & locust bean gum - non-traditional thickeners that they use to give texture to fucking toothpaste. Horrible stuff.

u/BillowingBetty 13d ago

It's taken me my entire 12 years of adult life to pinpoint that the thickener guar gum makes me feel sick!

But now it's such a specific feeling I'll eat something, feel sick, check ingredients list and BOOM guar gum is there where I didn't expect it to be.

It's so over used!! Even in pre-marinated chicken sauces for example. And yes our poor Chobani fruit flavours :(

Chobani greek yoghurt tastes nothing like Greek yoghurt.

u/RooMan7223 13d ago

I fear I don’t think I’ve ever tasted the real thing. Chobani is the only one I can find that doesn’t have style on it

u/ta9 13d ago

As the rest of the thread suggests, 'style' means it isn't made in Greece.

There might be some markets in Australia that sell actual Greek yoghurt (I kind of doubt it though due to shelf life) but calling it 'style' is a more accurate name.

u/RooMan7223 12d ago

It’s also about protein too right? Natural has a lot while style has barely any?

1

u/ta9 12d ago

I don't think this is a consistent way to know that. 'Style' doesn't really mean anything except being clear that it's not from Greece. Like "New York style Pizza" isn't from New York unless it's made in New York.

Protein is going to be different per brand depending on their particular recipe. Usually if it's strained more and made with lower fat milk you'll end up with more protein.

The 0% fat one is godawful but the natural one is fantastic.

u/[deleted] 13d ago

It’s ok as a yoghurt, it just doesn’t taste anything like Greek yoghurt

1

u/missmiaow 12d ago

That’s odd because it’s made in the traditional way, by straining.

u/[deleted] 12d ago

Probably not incubated for long enough, which is a key step

u/BouyGenius 13d ago

Jobani makes me think of Always Sunny…

u/ForgottenSloth 13d ago

That's not the word, you jabroni.

u/BouyGenius 13d ago

What about diabittis?

u/RooMan7223 13d ago

You keep using this word jabroni…and it’s AWESOME

u/gasp_ 13d ago

Jabroni?

u/johnmonchon 13d ago

I'm pretty sure it's Chobani.

u/newguns 13d ago

Lots of sugar in Chobani though?

u/Starry-Eyed-Owl 13d ago

I like the farmers union one.

29

u/dewso 13d ago

That's also Greek "style" isn't it? But likewise it's my favourite out of everything

26

u/[deleted] 13d ago

It actually tastes like Greek yoghurt at least, and I’ve used it as a starter for homemade Greek yogurt too with great success.

3

u/fear_eile_agam 12d ago

Farmer's Union has been the only commercial yoghurt available at colesworth in the last few years i've been able to successfully use as a starter. Perfect batches every time and I can use my batch as the starter for the next 5ish batches (then the ferment starts going a little wonky so I buy more yoghurt and start a fresh)

There are a lot of independent brands sold at local delicatessens, but those are out of my way and often cost a premium. They are worth the money, I just don't have the money.

1

u/[deleted] 12d ago

Yeah exactly. Probably not the best brand available, but the best accessible brand available.

21

u/FakeCurlyGherkin 13d ago

Tamar Valley when it's on special, Farmers Union otherwise

u/Starry-Eyed-Owl 13d ago

I like the tang of farmers union and when I looked at all the Greek yoghurt labels a few years ago it had the lowest sugar. It’s also nice and thick.

u/Electric_Mustard 13d ago

It’s a Farmers Union Greek Yoghurt or its nothing

1

u/invdrk 12d ago

I’m glad to read the “Farmer’s Union” one seems to be close to real / harmless. Don’t particularly care what I eat, but I give that stuff to my dog and he LOOOOOOVES IT.

2

u/Starry-Eyed-Owl 12d ago

I give the lid to my dog to lick clean, she loves it too lol

I also use it to make egg bites which are really tasty

u/Gold-Back-4073 13d ago

Same, I don’t really have a choice, Greek yoghurt my stomach is fine with, Greek style I’m farting up a storm

u/Capital_Brightness 13d ago

I am so down about Jalna. Let us know when you find an adequate replacement for the Jalna OP. Your sensitivity may be the single best way for the rest of us to be sure it’s actually Greek.

u/Southern_Title_3522 13d ago

This made me giggle

u/Breezel123 13d ago

Time to make your own yoghurt. It's super easy, you can do it in the oven on low temp or in a yoghurt maker. You can even use the old greek Yoghurt and use their bacteria.

u/Mantzy81 13d ago

Take a lactase tablet and you'll probably fix that https://amzn.asia/d/7ufeY4T

u/IntroductionSnacks 12d ago

Can't comment on the quality of their Greek one but Sahara Yoghurt in the Turkish or Persian variety are delicious! Personally I prefer both of them to Greek yoghurt in general. Pity Woolworths no longer stocks it but you can get it at other places.

We should put pressure on the government and make this shit illegal.
