We are nuts about vanilla in our house. The flavour and the scent just make us happy. I gave up dairy products a while back and this is something I really miss. The plain unflavoured and chocolate varieties were my favourites.Leben is an Israeli style of yogurt. Vanilla leben is a variation on vanilla yogurt. It has a different texture, most likely a different bacterial culture is used to make it. Almost all the ingredients are straightforward - milk, cream and sugar plus natural and artificial flavours. The artificial stuff is most likely imitation vanilla, but if you want to be careful about what you eat, this is clearly something to watch out for.
On our scale, this rates a 5 out of 5.
Note on kosher milk. The Hebrew term Cholov Yisroel, also spelled Chalav Yisroel, refers to milk and milk products that was supervised by a Rabbi from the time of milking. This extra certification is to insure that milk from an non-kosher animal is not mixed in with the cows' milk. There is some history that is worth reading about as well as some spiritual elements.
