The Chinese dairy company Mengniu has recently unveiled the new Deluxe Milk (特仑苏) spoonable yoghurt in China. This also marks the brand extension of Deluxe Milk from high-end UHT liquid milk to the spoonable yoghurt segment.
The 115g Deluxe spoonable yoghurt comes in two variants – plain and durian. The high quality milk is sourced from China and the yogurt contains the Streptococcus thermophilus strain CNCM I-2980. The durian comes from the D24 variant (苏丹王榴莲) from Malaysia.

In China, consumers are already eating yogurt and pizza added with durian as a topping. What is significant about the new Deluxe spoonable yoghurt with durian flavour is that durian can potentially become a new flavour for packaged yoghurt going forward.
