When serving crêpes, first check that the Greek-style yoghurt is organic, then choose a size to suit how you plan to serve it: 125 g pots for individual portions or a 400 g pot for everyone to share. If you prefer a sheep’s milk recipe, compare the nutritional information for the exact product too. It still contains milk and, like other fresh yoghurts, needs to be kept chilled.
You want to use Greek-style yoghurt as a topping, on the side or as part of a recipe, and choose a quantity to suit the number of people you’re serving. Auchan, for example, describes its 400 g VRAI pot as suitable for cooking.
You’d rather check the certification on the packaging than assume a product is organic just because it says ‘Greek-style’. According to the European Commission, the Euro-leaf is reserved for certified organic products.
You’re specifically looking for an organic sheep’s milk recipe for your crêpes. The products described by Carrefour and Auchan each contain 10 g of fat per 100 g, and both contain milk.
For crêpes, start by checking that the product is organic on the label. Then choose between individual pots and a larger pot based on how you plan to serve or use the yoghurt. Check the exact product variant for its milk type and nutritional information.
| What to check | Look for | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| Size and use | Compare packs of 4 × 125 g for individual portions with the 400 g pot for a recipe or topping to share. | If I’m making crêpes for several people, I want a quantity that suits the occasion without opening more pots than necessary; around 36% of consumers put size and cooking use at the top of their list. |
| Organic certification | For a prepacked product sold as organic in the European Union, look for the Euro-leaf, the code of the control body and the origin of the agricultural raw materials, as advised by the European Commission. | I want to be able to confirm that a product is organic from the packaging before choosing a recipe; around 29% of consumers prioritise this check. |
| Ingredients | Read the ingredients and compare the fat and protein content per 100 g in the nutritional information for each product. | When choosing between two plain recipes, I want to know what they contain rather than rely on the words ‘Greek-style’; around 21% of consumers put nutritional profile first. |
| Type of milk | Check whether the recipe is made with cow’s or sheep’s milk. The organic sheep’s milk products described by Carrefour and Auchan contain 10 g of fat per 100 g. | For my topping, I’m mainly looking for a sheep’s milk recipe, while bearing in mind that it still contains milk; nearly 14% of consumers prioritise their choice of milk. |
Recipes don’t all have the same ingredients. According to the Carrefour and Auchan product details for the products in question, their fat content ranges from 8.5 to 10 g per 100 g. The two Auchan products described contain 3.2 and 4.8 g of protein per 100 g respectively.
Compare the nutritional information for the exact variant you plan to buy. Don’t assume that the figures for a cow’s milk recipe also apply to a sheep’s milk one.
A 400 g pot may suit a recipe you’re sharing, but you’ll also need to think about how to store it once opened. Anses recommends keeping food chilled and eating opened, perishable foods within three days.
Choose a size that matches the quantity you need, reseal any opened pot and put it back in the fridge promptly. Also follow the use-by date on the packaging.
Any opened yoghurt that isn’t used in time may end up being thrown away.
The sheep’s milk recipes described by Carrefour and Auchan contain sheep’s milk and cream. Choosing a different type of milk doesn’t remove the milk allergen.
If avoiding milk is essential, don’t treat these yoghurts as milk-free alternatives. Check the ingredients list of the product you choose.
A product described as having a yoghurt flavour isn’t necessarily plain, certified organic Greek-style yoghurt.
Before choosing a product for your crêpes, check its name, ingredients, organic labelling and storage instructions.
These products offer a useful comparison of sizes and recipes. Always check the label of the specific product you choose.
Carrefour offers plain organic Greek-style yoghurt made with cow’s milk in 4 × 125 g pots, as well as a sheep’s milk recipe in 2 × 150 g pots.

For a prepacked food product sold as organic in the European Union, look for the Euro-leaf, the code of the control body and the origin of the agricultural raw materials. The European Commission states that the organic logo can only be used on a certified product.
No. The sheep’s milk recipes described by Carrefour and Auchan contain milk. Organic certification doesn’t remove this allergen, so check the ingredients of the exact product if this affects your choice.
Check the yoghurt’s use-by date and keep it chilled until you use it. Anses advises that products with a use-by date must not be eaten after that date. It also recommends limiting the time chilled products spend in transit and eating opened, perishable foods within three days.
Not necessarily. The organic sheep’s milk products described by Carrefour and Auchan each contain 10 g of fat per 100 g. Compare the nutritional information for each recipe rather than relying on the type of milk alone.
