balo Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I am not talking about the few imported items , which is very overpriced but I have seen locally produced yoghurt here that fits the bill but I do not remember the names. Rimping used to stock them but they now only sell import . Ice cream boutique makes their own , but the taste is not really good. I remember the brand name starts with Diary xxxxxxxx . Thanks.

kaptainrob Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Rimping and Makro stock YOLIDA natural yoghurt. Don't know about organic but I'd say it's closer to it than anything labeled as such 55 You are obviously not in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Thanks , I will check it out. I went to JJ market today and in one of the health shops they sold locally produced greek yoghurt. I tasted it and it was perfect, just the way I remember it from back home. So I had to find out more about this. The name of the company is Veggie's Diary. You can look them up on facebook. They sell their products outside of Maya , in the weekend market from Friday to Sunday. Both natural plain yoghurt and greek yoghurt . A big 500g box is 120 baht so that's a good price for quality yoghurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaptainrob Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Veggies Dairy (not diary) product looks good though Yolida is exactly how I like it ... just like home-made. Easy to make at home too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amexpat Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I make it with non-fat milk. I once made my yogurt from soya milk. I was disappointed. If you make your own, the "organic" milk makes thicker yogurt - at much greater cost - than does the regular milk off the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMac Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Get a small can of Yolida and some fresh milk. Put one teaspoon Yolida in about 500ml Milk, and let it rest for about a day. Done. It's as organic as your milk would be. I do this for the dogs all the time and they love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkles Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 As Mad Mac said easy to make but Hideaway Restaurant (Dao Cheeso )off Hang Dong Rd make yoghurt with skim or full cream milk ,Mediterranean Kitchen near Night Safari make organic yoghurt and a range of cheeses ,see fb page. Bulgaria available at Makro,Big C etc rates favourably on the GI index but expensive and as already mentioned Yolida, large and small size at Makro.

Sparkles Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Beware of some low fat yoghurts if you are borederline diabetic they may have no fat but loaded with sugar for "taste".Post 10 covers that ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertthebruce Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 After living here for near on 7 years, I am so paranoid about Thai Food and Products, as everything has Salt, Sugar , Syrup , or Soy Sauce...., very difficult to buy Low Fat or Zero Calorie food.. even when eating out, I always say, No Sugar, No Salt , No Soy Sauce.... on on a positive note, love all the Tropical Fruits and Veg...... best or luck...

KhunAussie52 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Tops has a organic yogurt called "Dairy Home" . they have plain or blueberry and a number of other fruit yogurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amexpat Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 2 hours ago, nongsangcity said: how does organic milk make thicker yogurt than regular milk ?...................its milk... Because the "organic" milk is milk. I'm told the other is made from recombined milk. Seems likely since you don't see a lot of dairy cows around here and it's much cheaper to import the powder. At any rate, it makes thicker yogurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the small squeeze bottles of flavor enhancers sent over from the US. Zero calories and one 1.6 fluid oz bottle makes 24 bottles of water, really good. I like the Kool Aid brand the best, Strawberry, mixed berry, blueberry, blue raspberry, cherry. I don't like the orange, grape, green tea, or any of the lemonade flavors. Coke Zero and Diet Coke have so much caffeine I can't stand it. I also bring Stevia for sweetener in coffee. The Thais put sugar and MSG in everything don't they? The fruits and veggies are my choice also, Some of the stands on the golf courses have ice cold sliced up fruit, man is that nice when boiling in the sun. Have a good one.

It is all cow's milk and if it is labeled fresh milk then it isn't recombined. There's some good discussion on t.v. about it. Maybe do a search on Foremost?
