Jalna Greek Style Natural
Verified81 reviews
Today is 11th of May, I bought Jalna, from coles epping, Victoria , I was very disappointed with the product, testless, dry not creamy and separated, Operation Manager must be trained or sacked, To put such highly recommended product like this in the market must be tested and tried yourself, You lost my business now and wasted my money and time to reviewing you, Show details
Tghis yoghurt was my go-to greek yoghurt because it is creamy without being sweet. Recently I tried a small pot but it tasted like the joghurt was made of plastic. My partner agreed with me. The Jalna website does not provide any way of contacting them to quote a batch number. Their website hangs on the 'you're not a robot' test. Jolly poor show Jalna.
Very very upset – I just opened up new tub of a 1kg lactase free. And it was like milk. I kid u not. It was liquid. Lactase free products are so expensive. I am so so so so disappointed and upset. Show details

Jalna Sweet & Creamy OMG – When I visited Santorini I had yoghurt for breakfast that was not tart, not sour it was smooth, creamy and amazingly delicious. Ever since then I have been trying to find something similar. If you want a "Greek Yoghurt" that will transport you to Santorini Island then Jalna pot set smooth and creamy will do just that. It is lower in fat than any… Read more
fruit yoghurt, smooth and creamy just like the label says. I'm absolutely in love with this yoghurt, it would be even better if they offered it in the small 170g tub like the original one. I can highly recommend this yoghurt, try it for yourself, you won't be disappointed.

Really Impressed – I don't usually eat yoghurt but since I've been pregnant I have a craving for it. I purchased Jalna Strawberry flavour for the first time, I am really impressed with the creaminess and flavour. Sugar content is a lot lower than other brands which is a bonus. I'll definitely continue to purchase. Show details
Delicious yoghurt – Nice yoghurt for sweets and savour uses. I use this yoghurt in cooking and also to have with honey or berries. It’s a delicious yoghurt, slightly expensive but comes on sale regularly.
My favourite – I love it. I eat it every night for calcium. I have it instead of ice cream. I also make banana smoothies and blackberry smoothies. It’s lovely just on its own. Show details
Negative reviews
Not Greek style! – Simply mixing milk, culture, and using "cream" to thicken it doesn't produce Greek style yoghurt. This brand tastes so blunt and feels like eating slightly sour cream. Doesn't feel like a Greek yoghurt at all. Show details
Quality Degraded – I was a long time customer but recently stopped buying this because quality degraded a lot. It was sour for the last two times I bought from Woolworths and had to return it to the store.
Greek style ....NOT GREEK YOGHURT – Thickener's used .... not traditional pot set . Traditional yoghurt does not require additional agents to make the yoghurt set.. I have tried most of the Greek style pot set yoghurts None of them are palatable in my opinion .

My love!!!!! – Nothing can beat this! Breakfast, lunch or even dinner. Young, old or even without teeth! Show details
I'm sorry but this isn't Greek (Mediterranean) yoghurt in the slightest – Yoghurt like this needs to have a tangy taste (Farmers union, Sahara, Pasha etc). This just tastes like cream and should be marketed as such. I've been recommended this product by numerous people but unfortunately, they don't seem to have a yoghurt culture and do not know that actual yoghurt should have a tang to it. Probably good for people that love to desecrate their "Greek" yoghurt with jam and other sweet stuff.

Yummo – I am huge fan of the sweet and creamy Greek yogurt but now I’m trying to minimise carbs I finally tried this one. I love that I can put my own sweetener in it and it tastes practically the same. Such a treat! My teenagers are also sugar conscious and they like it too. Win. Show details
My favorite yoghurt – A lot of complaints regarding the heat sealed lid. It shouldn't be a problem for people with a knife in their kitchen. You don't need to cut it off, just slit and tear it. Surely you don't change from a product you like just because of the new lid! Show details
This product has changed – It no longer tastes sour A lot more creamy and sloppy I could actually pipe the yoghurt and it would stand like whipped cream the pot not as user friendly for recycled storage Sadly looking for new brand Show details
Jalna is the best yoghurt! What happened to the container though? – The yoghurt has nice consistency and texture. It's not too sweet or even sour! This yoghurt is just- perfect and ideal for me. Many flavours to chose from in which I think is excellent. However, the only thing I actually miss is the iconic old pots. First of all, they looked better in design, and secondly I can use proper storage for it. And… Read more
unlike the new one, the lid is not as tight and it looks exactly like Tamar Valley's yoghurt container. Hence, the yoghurt does not look iconic. At all.
Best Greek yoghurt – Jalna is pot set and not sour, I love the taste. I had grown up with yoghurt and I think this is the closest to homemade yoghurt, I always buy this on a regular base Show details
Not happy with new packaging – Hi, I'd just like to express my disappointment at Jalna's new yoghurt packaging pots with their loose lids. The previous pots with their air tight lids were extremely reusable. They were ideal for storing soups, salad dressings and many other liquid leftovers. The new loose lids make the containers virtually useless for food and liquid storage… Read more
making them yet another one-use plastic going to waste. The new containers are also less effective for keeping the yoghurt itself fresh because once you remove the inner plastic seal the pot is no longer airtight. Please consider bringing back the old pots.
I quite like it. Not as good as Mundella – Why is yoghurt incorrectly spelt on the container if it so Australian? I would have thought an Australian product would have known how to spell yoghurt. On the container it is spelt yoghourt. Show details
What have you done?? – I love Jalna Yoghurt, however lately I have been very disappointed. The consistency has changed. It is no longer firm and easy to scoop out of the pot. I used to be able to tip the pot upside-down and drain off the liquid. Now it is sloppy and when I try to tip the liquid out a huge blob of yogurt comes out with it. It is also greyish in appearance which is not aesthetically pleasing. Whatever you have done, please change it back. :(
5 stars – 2oog size perfect for snack time, when not wanting large amount of tucker, even my cat likes it gave Marvin a tspn to try licked bowl clean. He is snoozin now dreaming of the cows who produced the milk for Jalna yoghurt.

Changed for the worse – I don't know what they've done to my favorite yoghurt, but it is no where near as good now. I worried when I saw the new presentation of the lid that they may have changed the contents.. Now it is sloppy, not as bitey flavour wise, suggesting the bacteria count has reduced. Basically the qualities that made this yoghurt the best are now gone. I am… Read more
super disappointed by this and am so sick of corporations trying to slyly change their products without their customers knowing. Even changing packaging hoping that if people do notice a difference in the product, will just put it down to the fact that it looks different.
The best tasting Yoghurt – I do not buy anything else because it the best tasting and comes in bucket size which I buy once a week and it does go in week with smoothies and homemade dips and sauces
My Chronic illnesses have benefited – Having autoimmune diseases such as psoriatic disease, ankylosing spondylitis, sjogrens, CLD & others, I started having jalna yoghurts on a daily basis, I believe this is helping me to cope with taking so many different drugs and when feeling off it is my choice of yoghurt to settle my stomach. Often it is all I can eat to keep taking my pills. … Read more
The new plastic covering is hard to remove with my hands.....but guess it might be a tighter fit for pot setting.
If there was away to change to a more environmental packaging then I would be ecstatic with this product.
bad packaging of a great product – i love jalna greek yoghurt- it's by far the best on the market. but why have an extra plastic seal under the lid. it's almost impossible to grip and remove. and it's just another piece of plastic going into the environment. just get a good grippy lid and leave off the seal. and keep making this great product, just package it better and i'll give it five stars.
Faulty Jalna Pot Set 1 kg jar lids – Both my husband and I were very disappointed when the new lid was introduced. We both had the jar lid come off when we took it from the fridge and we have had to catch the jar several times to stop spilling it on the floor. Jalna is our preferred label but this week I bought another brand as we can't afford to buy faulty products.
lid – I need to find another brand due to the lid ,very disappointing after 20 years of enjoying jalna, Please investigate how hard it is to remove the lid.Big waste as I had to throw it away because I can"t open it. Grrrrrr
BioDynamic Yoghourt has improved – Thank you Jalna for the recent steps you have taken to improve the lid of my favorite, the BioDynamic Organic yoghourt.
Rotten lids – I am an old person with arthritis and had to use a tin opener to open lid. It was almost impossible. I am sorry to say I cannot buy Pot Yoghurt again because of the lid. Just awful.
