To choose fruit yoghurts with a bit more character for your holiday rental, look at the fruit pieces and the ingredients rather than terms such as “mature” or “aged”. Then check that you can keep the products chilled during the journey, store them in your accommodation and use them by their use-by dates. Any guidance about keeping a product out of the fridge applies only to the product it refers to.
Before deciding how many pots to buy, think about the journey, the space in your rental’s fridge and the use-by dates. For chilled products, Anses recommends keeping transport time to a minimum and using an insulated bag.
Perhaps you’re choosing between fruit pieces and a creamier recipe. Yoplait describes Panier l’Original as containing fruit pieces, while Panier Crémeux is made with whole milk and cream. These are features to compare in the variety you choose, not indications that it has been aged.
You want to check the ingredients and nutrition information for the exact flavour, including sugars, fat, sweeteners and allergens, before choosing between a classic recipe and a 0% one.
For a stay in a holiday rental, first check how you’ll keep the yoghurts chilled. Then choose the texture and recipe that suit everyone staying with you.
| What to consider | What to check | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Transport and storage | Check the fridge in your rental, how long the journey will take and the use-by date. For chilled yoghurts, Anses recommends buying them at the end of your shop and transporting them in an insulated bag. | If I’m staying for several days, I want to be able to put the yoghurts in the fridge as soon as I arrive and finish the pots in time. Around 42% of consumers prioritise this kind of planning. |
| Texture and recipe | Look for fruit pieces or check whether the recipe contains whole milk and cream; don’t assume a product has been aged based on its name. | For desserts during my stay, I prefer to taste pieces of fruit or choose a creamier texture. Texture would be the top priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and nutritional values | Compare the ingredients, allergens, sugars and fat per 100 g for the specific flavours you’re considering. | Before buying for several people, I want to be able to tell the difference between a 0% recipe containing sweeteners and another type of recipe. Around 25% of consumers prioritise ingredients. |
