Advantages: delicious, creamy, tasty

Disadvantages: not for dieters, very moreish

On a gently sunny Sunday I was wandering round my local Tesco when I managed to lose my fella… he’s gone off down a sensible food aisle while I was gazing at something impractical and shiny. As usual when this happens (quite a lot, now I come to think about it) I stood out of people’s way to on side of the centre aisle and waited for him to come and find me. While I was loitering and dodging mad trolleys I glanced down and saw a BOGOF offer

On closer inspection I found it was for a new creamy yoghurt. Now, I am trying to diet and I know I should have low fat yoghurt, but it is disgusting and at least creamy yoghurt has to be better than a pile of chocolate bars, so I thought I’d look a little closer. Müller had brought out new yoghurt. Oh yum! I have always enjoyed their corner yoghurts and rice pots. There were two flavours available in my Tesco, one being cherry… euch! I have never enjoyed cherry flavours. But the other… oh! Hold on a minute! It was billed as “luxury yoghurt with walnut and Greek honey” so with no further ado I popped two into the trolley

I completely forgot all about my impulse buy until I got home from work the next day to be greeted by paeans of praise from my chap for my excellent taste in puddings. It turns out that this yoghurt is close to divine. Well, having just polished off a delicious roast dinner I was feeling full up and magnanimous (one does, when one hasn’t had to cook) I said that I may eat mine later but if not I’d leave it in the fridge and he could have it the following day

Tuesday morning arrived and in my bleary way I shoved the pot into my lunch bag and trotted off to work. At lunchtime I had demolished my salad and was in the mood for something sweet. Time to try my Amoré. The pot is a nice low chunky style, which I prefer to the thin taller pots that I am always worried I’ll send flying. This feels stable and although it is plastic it has a feel of cardboard that reminds me of tubs of ice cream in cinemas bought from the usherette when I was small. The lid is easily peelable foil; none of this mucking about with plastic that won’t release the contents.

I was quite surprised when I first saw the contents I was expecting Müller’s usual bright creamy white and this looked a grubby beige come magnolia. The walnut has been chopped very finely so only small specks show; it looks a little like the speckling that comes from natural vanilla pods. But the smell soon overcame the odd look! That warm summer afternoon aroma of good quality honey livened with a fresh creamy yoghurt tang was so enticing. The consistency is very similar to other Müller yoghurts and coated the spoon without dripping off and felt like soft custard in my mouth. The flavour was superb the honey was a gentle undercurrent of taste that complemented and caressed the cream of the yoghurt. The walnut taste was very subtle, just a hint to add another note to the flavours and aromas wafting around my mouth and nose.

After I had finished, sadly all too soon, the main flavour that remained was of honey. Not cheap honey, but very classy homemade and bought on a fine hot foreign holiday honey. For just a few short moments I felt transported to foreign climes, with hot summer winds and the gentle drones of bees in the background

I have to confess I do feel guilty when I think of my poor long suffering chap wandering happily to the fridge and finding it bare. But I shall be stocking up and buying this again, and again, and again! Totally scrumptious!

Oh, and the calories? I only looked after I had licked the pot clean! 226.5 Per pot and 8.6g. Not sure how good that is as I am only a beginner dieter!
