    Have yet to see it in Tesco either and the one near work is a pretty big one so I'd have assumed it would be there ahead of a lot of others.

    For Fage lovers who want to try a cheaper alternative, Liberté is on special in Tesco now at €2 for the 500g pot.

    Edit: it definitely is in tesco in Bloomfields but it should be in other Tesco stores as well.

    Liberté has zero probiotics.

    Just saying you cannot compare the products.
    It has less protein and does not contain any probiotics.
    These are what make Fage such a good product.

    Marginally less protein: 0.7g per 100g of a difference.

    I'd eat it as a snack or for breakfast. The absence of probiotics doesn't make it less attractive for me.

    You would want to be eating serious quantities of it for that to make a difference.
    Liberte is €1.50 in SuperValu at the moment \o/
    I prefer the taste to Fage 0% personally.

    This may not be of use to anyone unless you're in the UK but the Asda Extra Special 0% Greek Yogurt is incredible!! Get it if you can!

    Having carried out a statistically valid taste test, I've come to the following conclusion:

    I prefer Fage to Liberté. I just prefer the texture and i find it a little more filling.

    But the Liberté macros are good and it's on special at the minute so Liberté is on the menu for the time being.

    I had porridge this morning, .. the usual oats and milk into the miocrowave, bit of honey and a kiwi fruit mixed in for flavour.. added in like 2 scoops of fage and my god it was delicious! Highly recommend! Only discovered fage about a fortnight ago but its probably my favourite product at the moment, going through 2/3 500g tubs per week. So versatile also!

    And no Im not a rep for fage! :P

    I have only seen in it Tescos Dundrum, Merrion Centre and Rathfarnham, maybe they are just trialling in certain stores at the moment. Their product placement is all over the shop though, in one of the stores it was placed between all the junk dessert style yoghurts like rolo and crunchie so just saw it by chance !

    I've seen it in a couple of Tescos in Mayo so presume it's everywhere as it was on promo. But they only had one size - the medium one (500g) and only the 0% version in that. It was a very small shelf space, there was just room for a single tub in width and there were two or more stacked on top of, and behind that. But easy to miss unless you knew it was there.

    If you can find it the full fat version "Classic" tastes great, failing that the 2% is better than the 0% version. I think Dunnes carry the 2% version.

    Try it mixed with whey if you haven't.

    Basically turns into angel delight stuff.

    It's unreal.

    I know, right!

    Did the same with Liberte today and it needed much more whey to make it as thick.

    Probably because you have a dirty, potty mouth.

    Did you accidentally mix in some chemicals??

    Or

    Are you having a heart attack?

    I agree, moreso if I add the flavour drops. I mix in natural whey and add berries to kill the aftertaste.
