Jalna Pot Set Yoghourt :
4.64 out of 5 based on 235 reviews.

Everyone knows there is nothing better than a big dollop of yoghourt – no matter when!

Which is why we are excited to announce the Jalna Pot Set Yoghourt Product Review –  where MoM Members are trialling and reviewing JALNA YOGHOURT at home and then telling us what they think.

What makes Jalna Pot Set Yoghourt different?

Many yoghourts are mass produced using gelatine, colours and food acids. But Jalna is different. They have been making all-natural pot set yoghourt the traditional way, since 1959.  There are no short cuts, no gums or stabilisers, no ingredients that you don’t recognise and no added cane sugar or artificial sweeteners.

Jalna sources fresh milk from the Goulburn Valley where they also own and run a Biodynamic Organic Dairy Farm. They simply blend the pure milk with friendly probiotic cultures, pour it in each pot and let nature do the rest. It takes time to produce, but the result is a delicious, thick and creamy pure yoghourt that sets itself apart from others.

In essence, every Jalna yoghurt is a little pot of purity!

100% Australian Family Made & Owned.

Jalna is a second generation Australian owned family business and is the largest pot set yoghourt producer in Australia.

They are passionate that life should be as simple and uncomplicated as possible. The way they make yoghourt is important to them because they believe that the less processed our food, the better it tastes and the better it is for everyone.

Why Choose Jalna:

✓ Pot set = no additives

✓ Pure & natural

✓ Creamy thick texture

✓ Australian Made and Owned

There’s a Jalna Pot Set Yoghourt for everyone in the family

  • Delish

    We buy the plain Greek yoghurt and add a bit of brown sugar. The whole family loves it. Add to muesli, muffins, in cooking, or just eaten on its own. We definitely recommend it and buy it regularly in this household.

  • The coconut yoghurt is heaven!

    The Jalna Greek yoghurt in the coconut flavour is absolute heaven. I have never been a huge yoghurt eater but since trying this Jalna yoghurt I have been converted. My husband and my children have loved it for a long time but now that I am on board as well we usually go through two tubs a week. I like that is it quite often on special at the larger supermarket chains, which is always a nice saving.

  • Babymamma's favourite.

    Just love to eat all the time. My baby also love to eat . Whenever I go to store I never come back without buying this Jalna yogurt.
    It is so natural, thick in texture and so delicious. Even my baby is under 1 year but he knows its taste very well and never said no to this. Otherwise he spits on his clothes while eating other things.

    We have loved trying out the Jalna range of Pot Set Yoghourts and we have found that there is a yoghourt pot flavour to suit everyone in this dairy loving family.

  • Perfect Passion.

    So I baked a NEVER FAIL SPONGE (family fave and one I submitted here ages ago).Children’s Sand Castle Cake. “Never Fail Sponge”
    But this time I iced it with the icing recipe I used on my Jalna Hummingbird cake, Yoghourt cream cheese frosting, Yoghourt chocolate bubble bark , instead of using the Jalna pot set yoghourt with coconut I used the PASSIONFRUIT variety (passionfruit icing is a weakness of mine) and oh my was I super impressed. The frosting was sooo creamy and fluffy and the passionfruit yoghourt gave it a irresistibly tangy but delightfully sweet blissful taste.
    Seriously Jalna is so wonderfully versatile …spoon and dip, blend and sip, or bake and create this brand truly is unique and pot set perfect.

  • Raspberry and white Chocolate muffins sold out.

    I whipped up a batch of Raspberry and white Chocolate muffins for a bake sale…they sold out in under 10 minutes. I included the recipe and ingredients so lets hope your sales for delicious JALNA increases. By the way I also had a veggie slice that took 25 minutes to sell …folks can pick the most divine items can’t they.

  • Smooth creamy coconut paradise.

    Jalna really is the brand we adore they have so many delicious varieties that deliver more..from creamy plain to luscious fruit , greek and A2 one for me and one for you.
    Jalna pot set yoghourt with coconut is the product I am reviewing and it is renewing my love for granola. Pure the granola into a bowl add caramelised banana and pineapple and pure over the Jalna coconut yoghourt, close your eyes, open your mouth and spoon in pure paradise.
    Seriously Jalna can transport you to a paradise island without ever leaving your kitchen.

  • Pot Set SENSATIONAL

    Jalna really is an outstanding delicious tasting superior yoghourt that beats all other yoghourts on the market. Pot set and natural with no nasties . Made with delicious Goulburn Valley milk this brand is 100% Australian Family Made & Owned. The Premium VANILLA is always in our frig as it is so very versatile, can be used for cooking, dipping, dolloping, gobbling and in my face mask. Add fruit, nuts or simply on its own it’s brute.

  • Best Yogurt for Littlies

    I won’t buy any other brand of yogurt for my 21 month old son! When I moved him onto solids, I searched for a brand that had no added cane sugar, yet was sweet enough to be enjoyable. Jalna was the only brand that met my requirements. Best of all my little boy loves it and frequently has it for his dessert. His eyes light up and he squeals when he sees the pot.

  • Tasty yoghurt

    I enjoy eating Jalna yoghurt. It comes in lots of lovely flavours which all taste great. I especially enjoy strawberry and vanilla in their greek style yoghurt. I like buying the larger pots and find it great value for money. I would recommend this yoghurt for families as there’s lots to share and enjoy in each pot.

    Jalna Pot set yogurt is a regular in our household. We often try other brands but whenever we see Jalna on special we always buy it. Our favorite is the Vanilla. Its sweet and creamy so the kids love it but its not too high in sugar so mum is happy too.

  • A firm family favourite

    jalna yoghurt is a staple in our home for both snacking and cooking. It is important to our family to have produce that is additive free and low in sugar and Jalna ticks both these boxes. My children love the smooth creamy texture and the variety of flavours available. Jalna keeps well in lunch boxes and a perfect healthy snack for young and old.

  • A fridge Staple

    Jalna Yoghurt is simply delicious, everyone in the family loves it, it is a fridge staple. All the flavours are great. The best thing about the natural or greek flavours is that they are multipurpose, you can add a dollop to soup or just chop up some fresh fruit and add Jalna as a great healthy snack for the kids.

    My baby have just started eating solids 2 months ago. I started giving him Jalna yogurt as well, all the time he just finish it. Now, as he started saying few words. Once he finish spoon by spoon of yogurt, he keep saying num num num num and continue. I feel good that my baby is eating healthy food. As I can mix this with fruits as well, which he usually finish.

  • Love this yoghurt

    I have tried the natural, sweet and natural and coconut flavoured Jalna pot set yoghurt and we loved them all. It is so thick so you don’t need as much as other “runny” yoghurts. This would have to be the vwet yoghurt on the market and although more expensive than other brands….worth the cost. This yoghurt is a winner .and gets the thumbs up from our whole family

  • Versatile yoghurt

    Yoghurt can be used for so many different things – straight up or with fruit or muesli, porridge, in curries or pastas, cakes and desserts. A pot of yoghurt will never reach its used by date with this many uses. My daughter has only just started solids and yoghurt is on her “i like” menu. I am trying to avoid sugar in foods for as long as possible, so natural yoghurt is a winner here. As a busy mum we dont always have time to sit and eat a snack or lunch, a spoon of yoghurt straight from the pot is quick and simple and carries you over til you have more time (if that exists!) Jalna website is a great source of information and inspiration when it comes to new and exciting dinners that incorporate their yoghurt. Jalna pot set yoghurt is a WINNER in our house.

  • I've tried a different flavour

    So here’s my dessert tonight, more yoghurt and if I’m honest, I prefer the natural flavour I tried the other day more than this vanilla flavour, which surprised me caus I expected to like this more…. this one tasted more like traditional yoghurt than the other creamy one, however still scooped nice like ice cream and still yummy. Perhaps I just set my expectations too high with the different flavours, but my favourite flavour still is natural, but I’ve got many other flavours to try yet!

  • Blueberry delight.

    I purchased a small pot of Jalna pot set yoghourt with blueberries so I could whip up a batch of blueberry and chia muffins but when I went to the frig to retrieve the yoghourt I could not find it. Later discovered the empty container in the bin…DH and DS devoured the pot over their cereal so I am told and just a heads up it was delicious with lashings of crushed blueberries. Thank goodness we had a pot of raspberry as well (untouched) so the muffins turned out to be raspberry and white chocolate.

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Certainly most welcome for summer, and would be wonderful for the festive season. I can see this platter on the table Christmas Eve, when we get together with our neighbours.

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.


    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)



      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed

  • Charcuterie Boards and Antipasto boards are so good. I love them, i love the variety of foods you can put on them and they are so great for entertaining and enjoying with family or friends. It is something i like to make whenever i have friends over as you can enjoy and pick away while you are catching up. Great entertaining option.

  • I absolutely adore an antipasto spread. There’s nothing better than having a colourful plate of charcuterie and antipasto shared with loved ones. I grew up with my Mum making the most lush, long table of nibblies on celebrations and it’s something that my siblings and I carry on today. It brings us all together.
