Hi,
I got delivery on the 19th, nice start to Friday morning. My eldest girl, Saoirse, was all questions about what had arrived and could she have the bag and the spoon. She then asked could she take a yoghurt to school too. But she had to wait until she got home, no yoghurts allowed in school. We got strawberry yummy yoghurts and strawberry and banana formage frais
I had heard of Glenilen before the trail, I had purchased their small cheesecakes in the past and thought they were yummy. I had also spotted the yoghurts in the shops but I am super fussy and don't like bits in yoghurts so I never bought them.
Before reading the sheet I was given I didn't know that they had no additives or preservatives. Knowing that would certainly make me more likely to purchase the products.
I liked the packaging and it is also child friendly, my girls loved the pictures on the sleeve and were even excited by the impression of the cow and child on the pots. I didn't mind that the top of pot was a clear piece of plastic, I don't think the finished product needs to be fancied up but maybe make the base a little bigger. Not overloaded with writing on the front of the packaging and all the information on the back was easy to read too. Like one of the other mum's sais maybe get the additive and presertavive free somewhere on the front.
For myself I loved the yummy yoghurts and would buy them for myself they have no bits. It is very hard to get yoghurts marketed at adults with no bits. I was a bit concerned when it said sugar was added but it wasn't over sweetend.
Both Saoirse and Aoife loved them, the empty pots said it all. Aoife kept bringing me to the fridge to get her more. I picked her up and let her point to what she wanted and it was the yoghurts. Aoife favoured the yoghurts and Saoirse the fromage frais. Saoirse can be quite fussy when it comes to yoghurts/ fromage frais, she has refused others before.
I can't wait to see them in my local shops, I have checked to see if they were there, I will be buying them as soon as I see them. I would recommend to people. They were tasty and got my girls seal of approval.


Thanks again for letting me take part

Thank you so much for selecting us for this trial! Having trouble getting my review to post and this is my third attempt in 3 days so fingers crossed this works!

Thanks for the fab cool bag and wooden spoon, nice touch and nice to have something tangible now the products are well gone!!

We started with the fromage frais in this house as my 2 year old daughter was captivated with "the cow yoghurts", she loved the packaging! Both herself and the one year old loved the fromage frais. If I'm honest, having tasted it, I would prefer an alternative brand that we usually buy but girls ate these Glenilen happily so I'd probably buy Glenilen in future as I love how natural they are. That's a huge plus for me and I think ye should promote this more on the packaging. Speaking of packaging, the plastic film lids were not perforated and thus I had to use a scissors to seperate.

Next we tried the Vanilla yoghurts, to be honest, we're not vanilla fans normally so I used some to top a fresh fruit salad which was Yummy and used to top muesli- equally delicious. Ill try the other flavours in the range before deciding if I'd buy these. Of course this will depend on the eventual selling price.

We love Glenilen in this house and often buy the usual glass pots (though they are a bit pricey!) but absolutely LOVE their raspberry mousses and buy it very regularly. A fantastic product and love how natural it is. If you haven't tasted it yet- you just have to look out for it!! Such a quick and tasty dessert.

Great to support Irish market and if prices are competitive, ill be supporting Glenilen in buying yoghurts and fromage frais from them (and I'll never stop buying their raspberry mousse!!).

I had seen Glenilen Farm Yogurts on the supermarket shelf before the trial but only ever noticed the large pots and as my younger kids bring yogurts to school I didn't buy them. So I was delighted to receive the small pots to trial. I loved the packaging as it was easy to see that these products were made from Natural ingredients. The kids loved being able to colour in on the reverse side.
Both varieties were popular in my house strawberry is the favoured fruit and flavour here. What they really enjoyed was that there was no yucky after taste that is what they said. It was if they had been made at home with no added flavourings or additives. With 6 kids they didn't last long even my eldest who is 17 and normally doesn't eat Yogurts has now placed Glenilen Yogurts on the shopping list.
A great product and Irish Owned a firm favourite in this house.

Many thanks for the bag I see it being used on picnics this Summer if the Sun shines! And as for the Wooden Spoon well that's mine at last a quality spoon.

Thank you for choosing us and we wish Glenilen Farm the very best of luck and look forward to being loyal customers.

Thank you so much for letting me be a part of this trial. My 18 month old son is obsessed with Petit Filous but they can be expensive when not on sale. Also I wanted to look for something that was more healthy and safe as mass productions of products always ends up becoming less and less healthy. When I saw this group I was excited because I wanted a new product to try. I had never heard about Glenilen Farm Kids Range before, so I was intrigued to find out more about it. Well my son loved both the yummy yoghurts and the fromage frais, so it's hard to just pick one. I also enjoyed them myself and was very happy to know that the product was free of additives and preservatives. It was delicious, creamy, and a hit withh the whole family. I will definitely buy this product when it hits the stores and I would most definitely recommend it to friends and family. 5 stars all around

Thank you so much for our hamper. The bag and wooden spoon were a lovely addition. We absolutely loved these products in our house. Being from West Cork. we are already familiar with Glenilen and I am thrilled to see that they have branched into children yogurts. I have always loved the fact that Glenilen is a farm based product and totally natural. The blend of artisan with high quality is perfect. The cheesecakes, mousse and yogurts are always in our fridge.

The outer packing of the yogurts and fromage frais was very attractive. It was cute and conveyed 'natural'. I did find it hard to seperate the pots of the fromage frais without the plastic coming off two pots at the same time. When I split the pack of the yogurts, the expiration date was no longer on one of the pots.

But these are only tiny things! My 20 month old daughter LOVED both the yogurts and fromage frais. They had a pleasant but not overpowering smell. The vanilla yogurts were creamy and delicious. The banana and strawberry fromage frais was runnier than other brands but Olivia loved them.

Thanks again and we will definetly purchase more.

Firstly thanks so much not just for the yummy yoghurts but also for the bag and spoon, looking forward to using the bag this summer!!

This was our first time tasting Glenilen farm yoghurt's though we had previously bought and enjoyed the cheesecake. Tasters included myself, my husband, my 2 year and one of his friends (also age 2); went down very well with everyone!! I couldn't work out from the kids which they preferred (they demolished each equally as quickly) but the adults preferred the vanilla yoghurt's (I found the
strawberry and banana a bit too runny and also couldn't really taste the banana).

The cardboard packaging was very attractive (kids loved the cow) but I felt it could have emphasised the real fruit, no preservatives etc a lot more (it was written on the side but I would have missed that in the shop). I found the pots a bit flimsy - kids need sturdier containers - there was a note explaining that the covers (also flimsy and broke easily) were not the final shop product so I wondered if the containers were also the same.
All in all we enjoyed this product and will be buying it again. Thanks for letting us take part :)

I knew of the Glenilen Farm brand and have bought the adult yogurts before and enjoyed them. I was delighted to hear they were now producing a baby range as I love that they are so natural and also produced in Ireland (West Cork). I liked the packaging of the baby range - they were bright and looked healthy. We preferred the yogurts over the fromage frais but they were both delicious and lovely and creamy. My children are so used to the more sugar laden alternatives that I don’t think they appreciated them as much and my husband and I did but when baby number 3 comes along they will definitely be weaned on these! Thank you for the cooler bag and the wooden spoon which are a nice reminder of the yogurts and have come in very handy. I will keep my eyes out for these on the supermarket shelves.

Thanks a million for picking me mummypages. We really enjoyed tasting the Glenilen yoghurts.
My 4 girls were so excited to see our gorgeous picnic bag coming. We can't wait for nice sunny day to full with a picnic, def some Glenilen yummy vanilla yoghurts :)

The packaging of yoghurts is lovely, my 4 & 7 yr olds argued over who would colour in the pics on the back. The fromage frais went down very well but our def favourite were the yummy yoghurts. They were so creamy & live up to there name yummy. Only disappointing thing was there weren't more in the pack :) We will def buy more. They taste great & it's good to know they healthy too.

Thanks again xx

I was delighted to receive the beautifully presented pack from Glenilen Farm. The coller bag and wooden spoon were a lovely touch. The first thing I noticed when looking at the packaging on the Yogurts and Fromage Frais was that there was a really good Best Before date (14th May). I loved the design of the outer packaging, the cow logo with the child is really good and there was plenty of information easily displayed. I also loved the face that children helped design the pacakaging. I also liked the way it had that there were only 3/4 ingredients in the pots, the yoghurt made with milk and fruit from the family farm in West Cork. I ate the 4 Strawberry Pots and my 2 children ate the Strawberry and Banana Fromage Frais and we were all suitably impressed. I loved the authentic natural taste and the kids thought they were yummy! I loved the shape of the pots and we even reused them to plant some seeds. In the inside of the packagin The kids loved the fact that In the inside of the packaging they got an opportunity to win an apron and have sent in their drawings! That was a lovely touch. I look forward to trying more of the Glenilen Farm range and products in the future. We enoyed taking part in the trial. Many Thanks :0)

Thank you for letting us be part of this trial and for the lovely bag and wooden spoon.
I had not heard of Glenilen Farm brand before, but I will not forget it now :) It means so much that there are no preservatives or additives in their products. The vanilla came out on top in our house, although every pot was eaten. They were very creamy and the everyone loved the flavours especially the vanilla and my son kept saying they are so tasty. The packing was very eye catching.
Will definitely be buying these produts and recommending them to friends and family.

We tasted with pleasure the beautiful fromage frais and vanilla yoghurts - what can I say, except the usual outstanding quality and taste from the Glenilen Team. My tasters included my 2 daughters 9 & 12 yrs and my son 4 yrs. We all adored them, the fromage frais was the favourite (I also found like the comment below that you couldn't really taste the banana). But the taste was creamy, natural and I was so impressed to see the simple 2 or 3 ingredients in each. We loved the packaging, top quality and visually very attractive. One small improvement, the plastic tops on the vanilla youghurt - it was difficult to separate the pots without the plastic top coming off the second one. Thank you to Glenilen and Mummy Pages for the opportunity of taking part and for the beautiful bag & spoon! There was great excitement when they arrived. I would definitely buy these products on a regular basis for my kids and am so happy that there are such additive free, nutritious snacks available, well done again Glenilen, keep up the terrific work!
