Jalna Premium Creamy Yoghurt
Verified52 reviews
What have they done to the vanilla yoghurt. It used to be beautiful, rich and creamy. The last batch I purchased was disgusting, there is something wrong with the texture now and the vanilla taste is off. Won't be buying it again, they have changed something, it used to be a good product, not anymore.
What used to be lovely creamy yogurt ‘ sweet and creamy’ it’s now bland as….the first thing was they changed the sweetener from pear juice to sugar,… Read more
what a backward step. Reasoning was that they had to import the pear juice and they could get the sugar locally and they wanted to have 100% Australian products! Personally I don’t care if the pear juice is imported. Since then sweet and creamy is not nice tasting at all. In fact recently it’s even more bland. I fine the A2 protein quite a good alternative. I only buy it when it’s on ‘special’
Follow-up · Nothing changed from my comments above. I don’t bother with other brands most are too sweet and not a real yoghurt texture. However I haven’t tried many other brands. I think the texture of A2 is less firm but quite a good alternative, the taste is good but not and good as the sweet and creamy when pear juice was used in lieu of refined sugar.
Follow-up · No change, I live in hope that the original pear juice will replace the refined sugar in the Sweet & Creamy.
Curdled yogurt jalna Vanilla – Usually Jalna Vanilla Yogurt smoothie and great taste but this last pot was curdled and I have had stomach pain and many trips to toilet. Can this be contaminated with eColi - had to throw out the pot. Not happy. Show details

Just disgusting curdled lumps – From their web.. "The natural pot set process ensures a thick and creamy yoghurt, luscious mouth feel and a rich finish." If lumps of curdled goop is their difinition of lusious mouth feel. Pot expires more than a month from today, just opened and is inedible. Total waste of money as had to bin it. Show details

Best Yogurt on the market – The Premium Vanilla Yogurt tastes amazing and is excellent for health. It also has lactase enzyme with natural fruit juice concentrate for sweetness and is very good for my tummy. I have lactose intolerance but this yogurt hasnt really been of a problem for me. Highly recommended. Show details
Perfume flavour – I love this yoghurt too, usually, Jalna is the main yoghurt we use (no sugar so it's great) but the last tub of Strawberry yoghurt we purchased tastes like perfume ...?? Show details
Delicious – This is best vanilla yoghurt I’ve tasted. It is very thick can look lumpy as you break it up( it’s set in the pot) but the texture in your mouth is smooth, creamy and super yummy! You don’t need as much as some other yoghurts as it is quite filling though you want to eat more because it’s divine.
Negative reviews
Cottage cheese or yogurt mate? – This is curdled and surprisingly disappointing. It is in no way creamy. It’s in bits. Like cottage cheese. I wish I had not bought it. Thumbs down yalna.
Like a stinky chemical experiment took place in my mouth – I don't understand, were the product development people at Jalna inspired by Harry Potter chocolate frogs? The road to doom began with strawberry, and has now arrived at Vanilla. What used to be smooth, sweet and creamy has become, ahem, "textured" (AKA lumpy and curdled) and sour. After a rough night I once pour milk on my cereal and ate a bite before realising the milk had turned, Jalna yoghurt brought that wonderful memory back to life. Show details
Yuck, what did I just eat?! – Use to love this brand, but just had a bowl of yoghurt with bits that tasted like I was eating it directly from the cow. It also had a farm-like smell that reminded me of being at the petting zoo at the Royal show… Show details

Curdled – Jalna yogurt was the only yogurt I would eat. But since going back on dairy, the first two 1kg pots of vanilla have been somewhat curdled, not creamy. Not nice. Won't continue to buy if the next pot is curdled. Show details
Tried once - like eating cardboard – No taste not worth the time. Farmers union Greek yoghurt is the best by far. Why would you even bother. Just terrible. Don’t try it unless you like no flavour. Show details

Always tastes off – This is the worst yoghurt EVER, we have bought it a few times, just to give it a go, but no, smells and tastes like actual vomit. Kids WILL NOT eat it and I don't blame them. Definately not worth the "premium" title. Show details
Horrible Vanilla Creamy Yoghurt – I had to buy a new yoghurt as Danone Ultimate stopped making vanilla.... So tried Jalna. I thought it was off, 25 days left before use by date. It leaves that after vomit taste and feel on your mouth and throat. How can anyone eat this stuff. I'm amazed after reading similar reviews that this product is still being sold. What a waste of money, I have 3 more pots going straight in to the bin. Show details
Apple & Cinnamon – I've had two of these. The first I hate on the best-by/used by date, thus I put the fact that it tasted bad down to the age. I've just tried my second. It's well within it's used by date and it tastes horrible. I had thought it was simply an "off dairy" flavour, but after seeing some of the other reviews here I concur - it's chemically/perfumey. I will not be buying this flavour, or any of the others, again. Show details
Something is wrong with the Jalna Double Cream Yogurts – Something is wrong with the Jalna Double Cream Yogurts both Strawberry and Blueberry, I agree with the above comment that they taste and smell like something other than food is in them, like perfume. Unfortunately I ate some of the strawberry one because I trust Jalna, and have an awful aftertaste. I would like Jalna to contact me and tell me what I have consumed. Show details
Jalna Strawberry Greek Yogurt – It was my favourite yogurt and now it tastes like it has a chemical or perfume spilled into it. Something must be done! This will be the second tub thrown away!! Show details
Strawberry flavour – This is the diamond in the the rough. I've accepted that all flavours of this brand literally taste as if they've been regurgitated. The strawberry, however, is fantastic. The water The builds up is easily poured off, and it makes the yoghurt even thicker. It's not too sweet, and mixes well with muesli it fruit.
Disgusting- if I could give it 0 stars I would – This is the worst thing I have ever tasted, it makes me want to spew. It leaves a bitter taste after having just one mouth full. Too sour. I hate wasting food because they are so many starving people who would die to have sour yoghurt but I had to throw this disgusting thing out.
Disappointing. Bring back the real stuff – Used to love it but now is only sweet, creamy and sickly. Just like Gippsland it seems our sugar-craving society has bumped off another fine Australian natural yoghurt.
Creamy, but the flavour is gross (vanilla) – Typical pot set yoghurt. It was smooth and creamy, I like the texture. The flavour though, it must be because it's sweetened with fruit extract, but it reminded me of artificial sweetener and ugh! I'm struggling to eat it. My toddler loves it though.

FAIL – Looks like oil from a roast dinner that's congealed in the pan. Tastes even worse. Epic FAIL !. Looks like oil from a roast dinner that's congealed in the pan. Tastes even worse. Epic FAIL !.
Revolting – I bought this assuming it would taste similar to other Greek Style yogurts. I was wrong, it's the most disgusting yogurt I have ever tasted. The vanilla tastes chemically and the yogurt wont go smooth no matter how much you stir it (and I am used to the solid texture of pot sets). Such a waste of money, it was expensive and no one will eat it.,
Why does it taste like baby vomit – I literally stumbled on this page because I google "Jalna yoghurt tastes like spew". I bought the coffee flavour for an after lunch snack, but as I sit here after half of this creamy specimen, I wonder if I just vurped a little, or was it indeed the 600,000,000 probiotics claimed to be contained in this little pot set YOGHOURT (apparently this is… Read more
the traditional spelling as their method for cultivation is the traditional way, insert eyeroll). Never again.
I will never buy this again – I was so excited to try this until I opened the pot, gave it a stir and it went lumpy as though it was off and they've just put a vanilla flavouring through to disguise the fact that their yoghurt is off. Despite this I decided to taste it and I legitimately almost threw up, the taste is vile and tart like the yoghurt is off. Extremely disappointed and will go back to buying my usual yoghurt.
Smooth and creamy? More like watery and lumpy – I want to like this yoghurt, truly I really do, but its false advertising to say it is smooth and creamy. It's watery, and when you have a mouthful it turns into this lumpy mess that is just awful. I got the strawberry and I swear there is no strawberry in it! Awful bad yuck completely displeased and waste of money. I'll stick with vaalia,… Read more
they've got 3 bacterials live cultures too and they may have more suger but they actually have fruit in them (lots). They are creamy and smooth. This brand is rip off.
Fantastic for my upset stomach cured me!! – I bought the natural yoghourt jalna. I have not stop eating it. In a matter of days it cleared up my painful stomach. I had an infection in my guts. This helped fix my problem. You need to warm up to the taste. Unfortunately i have not tasted the honey one. Now i try put honey in the natural one it is nice. Thanks to the owner of this fantastic company i now have a healthy gut. No problems
One of the best yoghurts – Awesome yoghurt, so delicious & even my kids enjoy it. Won't use another brand from now one, this one all the way
my most favorite yoghurt - almost cheesecake consistency – I really love this yoghurt and so do the kids. The texture and taste is like a cheesecake, it's lovely and sweet but not sickly sweet. All the flavors have been great so far.
