We will talk about all this in our article. The Danone company, which produces curds and yoghurts, has long been known in Russia and managed to win the sympathy of users. But relatively recently, new products appeared on store shelves. These are fermented milk desserts and creamy yoghurts called Danissimo. The commercial cut into memory with the words: “And let the whole world wait!” Do all problems recede into the background while enjoying Danissimo yogurt? We learn this by analyzing consumer reviews. In this article we will tell a brief history of the Danon company, give a full layout of the product composition, and describe the benefits (and possible harm) of yoghurts. We hope that the information received will be useful to you.
Sour milk product history
The word yogurt (yoğurt) itself is Turkish, and translates as "condensed." But the fermented milk dish was known much earlier than the Ottoman Empire was born. Even Pliny the Elder wrote that the Scythians condense milk and make a tasty drink out of it. The Bulgarians, being a nomadic people, fermented koumiss. And when they settled, they began to make yogurt from sheep’s milk. The Turks only borrowed this invention and gave it a name. And in Europe, yogurt became known thanks to the intestinal colic of King Louis the Eleventh (second half of the fifteenth century). A certain doctor from Constantinople regaled the monarch with condensed and fermented milk, which made him recover. This is what a long and winding path did Danissimo yogurt go to the tables of Europeans.
Manufacturer
The Danone company was not accidentally founded by Isaac Carasso, a native of the Balkans. This doctor began to practice in Barcelona in 1919. At that time, many children in Spain suffered from intestinal disorders and dysbiosis. And here Isaac Carasso recalled that in the homeland these diseases were traditionally treated with yogurt. As early as 1908, Russian professor Ilya Mechnikov determined what fermented milk was. The strains of Bulgarian sticks (the bacterium is named after the drink's homeland) and thermophilic streptococcus are responsible for turning it into yogurt. Carasso wrote these lactic acid cultures to Barcelona. At first he offered his product to the doctors of the capital of Catalonia. And then, when its benefits became well-known, clay pots with fermented milk from Danon began to be sold in pharmacies in Barcelona. But it took about twenty years for the products to occupy shelves in ordinary stores, and even more for Danissimo yogurt to be born. By 1942, Danon was already known in Western Europe, the USA, as well as in Brazil and Mexico. In 1953, the company launched a fermented milk product with juice and pieces of fruit. Since then, nothing has held back the culinary imagination of the producers.
Wide range of products
In 2007, the company adopted a new concept. Now it focuses solely on the release of "healthy" products that can be consumed with baby food. And, above all, this is milk and products from it: yoghurts, curds, mashed potatoes. So there was a Danissimo line. It was created in order to pamper yourself, loved ones. Indeed, there are so many blisses in yoghurts, cottage cheese and creamy desserts of this brand that, indeed, “let the world wait” while we enjoy them. Everyone can choose for themselves something suitable from the widest range of products. Here you will find traditional berries, and chocolate chips, tiramisu, cheesecake and even ice cream! Benefits for the body and delicious taste - this is what attracts Danissimo yogurt. "Fantasy" is a new line. The unusual product immediately catches the eye. After all, the creamy Danissimo Fantasia yogurt consists of two jars under one lid. Let's take a look inside.
Range of the Danissimo line
Under this name, creamy yogurts and gourmet desserts are produced. These latter are striking in their variety of tastes. Desserts combine pieces of fruit or jam, a gentle cottage cheese and a biscuit. Therefore, the name of some jars speaks for itself: “Strawberry Cheesecake”, “Tiramisu”, “Lemon-Ginger”, “Banana-Caramel”. There are many desserts that use different types of chocolate. There is also a taste of ice cream. Quite popular is the curd dessert with the addition of chocolate balls. But there, the crisp properties of flakes are already largely lost from a long stay in a liquid medium. For those who love breakfast cereals, the Danissimo yogurt with balls was invented. It consists of two compartments. The larger is yogurt itself, without any aromatic additives (maybe a little vanilla). The second, smaller, contains balls in two types of chocolate glaze (black and white), berry dragees or flakes. There are also yogurts where jam is located in such a compartment (strawberry, blueberry, etc.).
Structure
It is indicated on the package. What is Danissimo yogurt made of? Photo label shows everything without hiding. The yogurt itself (the one in the larger compartment) is made from skim milk, natural and dried, cream, sugar and sourdough. As you can see, nothing criminal, that is, harmful to health. This yogurt tastes almost unsweetened, slightly sour, very delicate in texture, with a velvety taste. Now let's take a closer look at the smaller compartment. Take crunchy chocolate balls. The flakes themselves are made from rice and wheat flour, barley malt, bran, sugar and salt. What bothers you is calcium carbonate as a stabilizer and soya lecithin, which acts as an emulsifier. Balls are covered with three types of chocolate: dark, milk and white. The composition of the glaze is approximately the same: cocoa butter, sugar, lecithin, milk, vanilla.
Calorie content
What nutritional value does Danissimo yogurt have? The calorie content of this product is largely dependent on the filler. After all, yogurt itself in its pure form is a dietary product. The jar contains only three grams of protein, 6.9 g of fat, and carbohydrates are 12.3 g. The energy value of the larger compartment is only one hundred twenty-four calories per hundred grams of yogurt. But if you take into account the contents of a smaller compartment, then losing weight you need to think three times before embarking on the absorption of delicious fillers. Jam - strawberry or blueberry - will be less evil. Although here we see the sugar content - not a very useful ingredient. We calculate the energy value of the filler, traditionally taking chocolate balls as the basis. Carbohydrates in them are sixty-one grams, fat - 26.6 g, and protein - 6.1. As for the energy value, one hundred grams of chocolate balls contain five hundred and seven calories.
Other characteristics
Like other Danon products, Danissimo yogurt in Russia is produced by the counterparty, which is Danon Industry LLC. But do not worry about the conformity of quality to the original curds and desserts. After all, the chief director in the Russian campaign is Bernard Alan Marie Ducro. He makes sure that products manufactured in the Russian Federation do not differ from world standards. Yoghurts, desserts, milk, curds, sour cream and cream come to the capital's stores from the village of Lyubuchany in the Chekhov district of the Moscow region.
Yogurt Danissimo: reviews
But this is information taken from the official website of the campaign. But what do ordinary consumers say about Danissimo yogurts? Many people like convenient packaging. When the flavoring filler and yogurt are in different containers, you can control the sweetness of the dessert yourself. You can mix them together or eat one at a time - as you like. In addition, cereals and balls do not soak from prolonged contact with yogurt, but remain crispy. Jam can also be mixed in different proportions. The Danissimo yogurt tastes like a tender cloud. It is impossible not to fall in love with it from the first spoon. The only negative, as consumer reviews say, is the price. Usually it is thirty-nine rubles per package. But there are pleasant exceptions. For stocks, such a dessert can be bought for twenty-five rubles.
