“Müller Amoré Peach Yoghurt” 150g is a superior thick fruit yoghurt from Müller, the German-owned ‘lick the lid of life’ dairy desserts company. This deluxe range of yoghurts was introduced in 2003, and can be found in the chilled cabinets of larger supermarkets.

~ Packaging ~

The yoghurt comes in a rather sophisticated dark blue container – lower and wider than most. The shape makes it feel nicer to eat from than ordinary yoghurt pots. It appears to be made of card, but is in fact a lightweight white plastic tub with a tightly fitting cardboard outer casing.

The foil lid bears the company logo and a photographic image of a spoon dripping with ice-white yoghurt (like the yoghurt found in the Müller Corners) with a juicy slice of peach nestling on top. This image is rather misleading, as the yoghurt is actually a pale peachy colour containing small fruit pieces. The lid also shows the use by date.

On the side of the pot is printed the company logo and product name flanked by photographic images of whole and sliced ripe peaches. There is also information about storage (i.e. keep refrigerated), ingredients, nutrition and allergy/dietary details.

Some or all of the packaging can be recycled (depending on what your local council will accept): – the cardboard outer casing, foil lid, and plastic inner pot (which has a recycling triangle with PS inside).

~ Look, Smell and Taste ~

The yoghurt is a pale golden creamy colour, with a slight sheen, and contains a good quantity of small bright orange peach pieces evenly distributed throughout.

The texture is creamy and thick, and not the least bit runny. You can fluff it into little peaks, or fill a spoon, turn it over, and the yoghurt takes a couple of seconds to drop back into the pot. Looks mouth-wateringly luxurious.

The product has a very delicate aroma – milky with a tantalizing hint of peach. The yoghurt is sweet, creamy and mildly peachy, and this is complimented by the stronger peachy tanginess of the fruit pieces. Very delicious.

~ Amoré range and price guide ~

Flavours in this indulgent yoghurt range include: -

... Cherry
... Orange
... Peach
... Strawberry
... Vanilla and Dark Chocolate
... Walnut and Greek Honey

My local Asda sells them for £0.64 each and Sainsburys for £0.69 each, and both supermarkets currently have a multi-buy offer of any 5 for £3. My local Tesco does not stock this particular Müller range.

~ Verdict ~

This delicious fruity yoghurt incorporates whipping cream (18%), so the richness makes it suitable for a treat or an after-dinner dessert. It is probably too rich to put on top of your breakfast cereal. This yoghurt is a little more expensive than others, but is worth the extra.

~ Additional notes ~

Müller has a very large UK production facility at Market Drayton, Shropshire. Being based in an English county famous for its numerous high quality dairy farms enables Müller UK to boast “made in Shropshire”, “90% of the milk comes from within 30 miles of the dairy” and “24 hours from farm to yoghurt”.
