The first time I heard about Blue Hill's new savory yogurt, I knew I had to try it. The yogurt is your average joe yogurt, except for one thing, it's comes in sweet potato flavor!!
In recent years, the yogurt industry has gone bananas trying to reel in customers with every dessert-turned-yogurt flavor you can think of. Some examples from Yoplait include Pineapple Upside Down Cake, Red Velvet Cupcake, and Boston Cream Pie.
But the minds at the world famous farm-to-table restaurant Blue Hill (Dan Barber et al.) are going against the grain and flavoring their unconventional dairy products with root and vine vegetables.
I took a trip to my local Mrs. Greens and bought a cup of Sweet Potato flavored yogurt. I immediately spooned it into my mouth upon arriving home and was met with a slightly salty and umami taste that almost made me forget I was eating yogurt. But then I came to my senses and realized that I didnt like this non-sweet yogurt. I added a little honey and some walnuts and tried it again. Much better.
The verdict: Based on my taste analysis of one flavor, this yogurt would go great in sauces and marinades, but maybe not by itself. I blame it on my tastebuds's affinity for sweet-tasting yogurt. Definitely give a try, and let me know what you think!
