Ask Bio about this range · Yogurt & Buttermilk
Come summer, a cold glass of ayran alongside grilled meat is as central to a Turkish table as the meal itself, and a thick spoon of strained yoghurt does just as much work the rest of the year in sauces, dips and breakfast bowls. Our Yogurt & Buttermilk range, 19 products strong, is built around both.
What the range covers
Ayran comes in a range of formats: Yayla 250ml Ayran and Melis's own 250ml yoghurt drink are grab-and-go single servings, while Yayla 1000ml Natural Ayran and the sourer Yayla 1000ml Sour Village Ayran are sized for a family meal or a barbecue. On the yoghurt side, Yayla Strained Yoghurt %10 Fat 1000g is the workhorse tub for everyday cooking, and Aytac's strained and 100% natural yoghurts offer an alternative brand at a similar fat range. For something richer, Yayla's Village Yoghurt and Yoghurt With Cream bring higher-fat, traditional textures, and Yorem's Afyon-style cream yoghurt is a specialist choice for those who know the regional style. Top brands across the category are YAYLA, YOREM, AYTAÇ and MELİS.
How to choose, store and use
For everyday cooking, sauces and cacik, a 1000g strained yoghurt tub such as Yayla's %10 fat option gives the thick consistency Turkish recipes expect. For breakfast bowls or spooning over fruit, a milder natural yoghurt works well, while the higher-fat Village or Yoghurt With Cream options suit richer dishes or simply eating on their own. Ayran should be shaken or stirred well before drinking since it can separate slightly in the fridge, and once opened is best finished within a few days. All these products are chilled and should go straight in the fridge on arrival.
Delivery across the UK
Because ayran and yoghurt are chilled goods, orders are packed with ice-gel packs and sent DHL Express, arriving within 1-2 business days UK-wide. Spend £60 or more and delivery is free to London and mainland UK; under that a flat £5.99 rate applies. Prices in this range start from under £1, making it easy to add a bottle or two to a bigger weekly order.
