New varieties of mascarpone yogurt from Weihenstephan | Product review – In October 2016, I already told you about the introduction of Weihenstephan's mascarpone yogurt. At that time, it was brand new in the refrigerated section and available in sour cherry, mango, strawberry, and peach-apricot flavors. Now, there have been some new developments, and three more varieties of mascarpone yogurt have been added to the range. Since May of this year, there are also the varieties "lightly sweetened" – meaning plain without fruit flavor – as well as "raspberry" and "blueberry." If you'd like to know more about Weihenstephan's mascarpone yogurt, it's best to read the previous article (Weihenstephan Mascarpone Yogurt – Product Test) through.
The "finely sweetened" version – available in the refrigerated section since May '17.
The new varieties
Inspired by Italian dessert cuisine, Weihenstephan has once again conjured up something delicious in the world of yogurt. This time, the focus is decidedly berry-centric, with raspberry and blueberry varieties being the latest additions to the mascarpone yogurt family. There are now a total of seven varieties, so there should be something for everyone. To make a direct comparison, I picked up a few more cups of the existing flavors, and of course, the newcomers also found their way into my shopping basket. Each cup contains approximately 20.1 grams of carbohydrates (of which 18.3 grams are sugar) and 10.9 grams of fat (of which 6.4 grams are saturated fatty acids). Thanks to the mascarpone, the fat content is naturally higher than in a typical fruit or plain yogurt, but the taste and consistency are all the more creamy. Open the cup, grab a spoon, and enjoy!.

The three new varieties
My favorite among the new varieties is actually the "lightly sweetened" version without fruit flavoring. Firstly, because the character of the mascarpone yogurt, with its delicately melting center, shines through best in this variety, and secondly, because the subtle sweetness of the yogurt isn't masked by the pleasant, but rather dominant, berry flavor in the raspberry and blueberry varieties. With these, you have to stir the mascarpone yogurt thoroughly to combine the fruit base and create an even fruit-to-mascarpone yogurt ratio – in other words, "stir" it ;-). If I had to choose, I'd say raspberry is my favorite among the fruit varieties. Slightly sweet, but not too sweet, beautifully mild and creamy.
For me, the combination of creamy yogurt and the addition of mascarpone is the perfect alternative to a heavy, overly sweet dessert. Plus, the mascarpone yogurt is quite filling, meaning that cravings for sweets don't return so quickly.
Lots of love goes into every mug 🙂
Since I bought several tubs for my test, I was able to try both the "breakfast version"—with chopped fruit and muesli as a topping—and also go back to the fridge in the evening after dinner and treat myself to a tub for dessert. Weihenstephan's mascarpone yogurt, with its rich composition, is also perfect for a quick snack when you're just feeling peckish. If you enjoy baking, you can also use it in recipes (for example, for a creamy tiramisu), as its consistency and the mascarpone content make it wonderfully suited for this. The blueberry variety is slightly tart and therefore ideal for anyone who doesn't like their yogurt too sweet.
What all varieties, including those already available from October 2016, have in common is a composition of purely natural flavorings and the exclusive use of high-quality fruit. In fact, I took the time to pick out the berries from a tub of Weihenstephan's Blueberry Mascarpone Yogurt. When I had eight berries in my hand – we're talking about a 150-gram tub – I was satisfied. So there's no cheating involved, and I can only recommend that you try the yogurt.
