a Very Careful Experiment, part one
Sep. 24th, 2011 02:43 pmToday's sample is SO Delicious cultured coconut milk, blueberry flavor.
( Details for those as wants them. )
The stuff is already mixed, but appears to have bits of blueberry in it instead of being thoroughly blended like blended yogurts. It's sort of smoother and runnier than dairy yogurt, and very, very purple.
It's got a nice blueberry flavor and a very sweet aftertaste - such as you might expect from something artificially sweetened, to be honest (though it goes on and on about how all-natural it is), but not so chemical and with an odd sort of vanilla-ish hint. It has none of the tartness of yogurt, which surprises me. I guess it's because of coconut's inherent sweetness - but dairy milk is pretty sweet too, when you think about it, and real yogurt can be plenty tart even when it's sweetened with fruit juice. This might appeal to people who prefer milder-flavored yogurts, but by me it seems more like a thin pudding than like a yogurt. It's tasty but I don't think I'll buy it again - disappointing, because the novelty of coconut-milk yogurt is a pleasing thing to me. :-)
Final grade: B.
