FAQs

We use the traditional pot set method of blending friendly live probiotic cultures, only all natural ingredients and pasteurised cows’ milk. Once the live probiotic cultures activate, the mixture is poured into individual pots and nurtured in warmth for the yoghurt to set and ferment. It’s then cooled to naturally create your yoghurt. We never use artificial additives or colours. No preservatives, stabilisers, thickeners, or food acids, or artificial sweeteners either.

Our yoghurt is pot set using traditional methods, with only a few natural ingredients. As simple as we can make it.

We only use pasteurised milk in our yoghurt.

We have been sourcing milk from certified BioDynamic and Organic dairy farms for many years to provide the milk for our BioDynamic and Organic yoghurts. The milk for our other products comes from Australia’s rich, green pastures of our valued Aussie dairy farmers, delivered fresh every day.

Quality tests show once opened the yoghurt should easily reach the ‘best before’ date on the pack, assuming it has been correctly handled and refrigerated, see pack for more.

This is whey, it’s naturally occurring when set yoghurt expels moisture. It’s   perfectly normal, indicating the yoghurt is natural with no added thickeners. Just stir it into your yoghurt or pour it off.

Yes, all Jalna yoghurt is gluten-free.

As a natural dairy product, our yoghurt does contain lactose however, we now produce a special range of lactose-free yoghurt. Our kids’ pouches are also lactose-free.

Jalna use only safe, food-grade plastics from approved suppliers. Our pots are also BPA free.

We do not use any meat byproducts in our yoghurt like gelatine so it is suitable for vegetarians . Because Jalna yoghurt is fermented dairy, it is suitable for ‘lacto ovo’ vegetarians but not vegans.

You can recycle all our BPA-free food-safe pots and lids but even better for the environment, reuse in lots of ways in or outside the kitchen. Organise craft or sewing items or use in the garden; tidy hardware items; or sort your stationery, toy or art supplies. Your local schools and kindergartens are likely to be on the lookout for storage solutions for craft essentials too.

Where possible, Jalna sources the majority of our ingredients locally. Occasionally due to seasonality of fruit for example, we may source from overseas. See our pots for percentages.

At Jalna, we’ve been making the purest yoghurt the traditional pot set way for over 60 years and like the name suggests, it’s yoghurt set right there in the pot – a traditional method that requires nothing but pure ingredients. We pour fresh milk straight into the pot, add some friendly probiotic cultures, and all natural ingredients, then we pop the lid on and let nature do the rest.

No stabilisers, preservatives or additives. It sounds simple, but our method demands the purest ingredients, the perfect temperature and just the right amount of time to create uniquely thick and delicious pot set yoghurt your family loves.

Our pot set yoghurt is preserved naturally using the age-old preserving process of fermentation. Because Jalna yoghurt is made the natural pot set way and unlike most others, our yoghurt doesn’t need anything artificial.
