Alvas Yogurt – A review
The texture of the yogurt is creamy and is not sweet unlike other store bought curds. The best part is that this yogurt tastes more like home made curd and is completely chemical free. They do not add any preservatives or additives to their yogurt. The yogurt tasted exactly the same as home made yogurt . The 200 ml pack tasted slightly sour but the rest were perfect. Since this yogurt is homemade, every batch carries its own level of tangyness. Both my kids are a big fan of yogurt and they loved Alvas yogurt very much. Trust me, they are my best critics, especially my daughter.
