[edit] Making Yop
Yop is made from juice which is heated at high temperatures in order to kill off any harmful bacteria. Once heated it is then cooled down to 40 °C and placed in incubation tanks. Lactic acid is then formed when lactose is converted. After this, the lactic acid forms the yogurt drink texture. In total, this process takes 8 hours to complete. The yogurt drink is soon ready once the recommended pH level has been reached. The yogurt drink is then cooled (to prevent any bacteria from growing) and flavourings are added. The flavourings are suitable for vegetarians.
[edit] Flavours
The flavours of Yop available in Canada are Strawberry, Raspberry, Blueberry, Peach, Vanilla and Strawberry-Banana. Yop Frusion, orange, mango and banana flavoured yop, were released in Ireland in July 2005.
Yop Strawberry-Vanilla is also available in Ireland.
[edit] Trivia
- For the UK market, Yop is produced by Yoplait Dairies in France.
- Strangely, "Yop" is the word shouted out by Jo-Jo in Horton Hears a Who (film), but it is not known why.
- In the game Dofus one of the twelve classes is Iop. The charecter name was made while the developers were drinking Yop
