Weihenstephan: Two new varieties of mascarpone yogurt So, it's that time again. Weihenstephan has revamped its mascarpone yogurt range. I've already reviewed the previous varieties (Read more hereAnd so I didn't say no to the "Mascarpone Yogurt with Lemon" and the "Mascarpone Yogurt with Orange and Mango." So, it's pure refreshment and variety in the fridge. I tried both flavors and checked the packaging.

The new Weihenstephan mascarpone yogurt varieties

The new mascarpone yogurts in "Lemon" and "Orange-Mango" came at just the right time. Eating yogurt is a great alternative to a heavy snack for me, especially on warmer days. Even when I have a craving for something sweet, I now prefer to reach for the fridge rather than the candy cupboard. So it's all the more wonderful that there are now two new, refreshingly summery varieties of mascarpone yogurt from Weihenstephan in there. Lid off, spoon in, a stir, and mmm!

First, I tried the lemon flavor. When you tear open the container, you initially see only white. 🙂 You have to stir it well, and then your spoon will reveal the generous amount of fruit puree nestled in the container, along with some pieces at the bottom – this is the case with both, or rather all, varieties of mascarpone yogurt. Combined with the soft, creamy mascarpone yogurt, the yogurt tastes light, fruity, and fresh. I'm not usually a big fan of citrus fruits, but in combination with the pleasant sweetness of the yogurt, the slight acidity of the fruit harmonizes perfectly. Incidentally, the mascarpone yogurt – like everything from the Freising dairy – is produced with the utmost care. It is refined only with high-quality fruit preparations and natural flavorings. I also personally appreciate that the mascarpone yogurts are ideal for creating delicate desserts or for using and refining cake and pastry recipes. For those who are creative in the kitchen, fresh yogurts provide the ideal foundation.

In the orange-mango flavor, the orange aroma is definitely dominant, in my opinion. I could only taste the mango very subtly. However, if you take the time to get the fruit puree onto the spoon relatively pure – that is, without the yogurt – you can taste the tropical mango fruit a bit more clearly. If I were to buy these two varieties again, I would still opt for more of the "Mascarpone Yogurt with Lemon" flavors. These vacation-inducing yogurts have been available in 150-gram tubs for €0.69 each since March 2018.
