Skyr culture technically makes an Icelandic cheese, although it's normally eaten with berries, jam, or other sweet toppings. This is how Skyr ended up in the yogurt aisle in the United States! Our Heirloom Skyr cultures are typically made with skim milk but the rennet helps create a thick, creamy consistency.

Each bag contains:

2 packets of Skyr yogurt starter culture
2 tablets of rennet

Instructions for using this culture are included and may be found here.

Shipping and Storage Information:

Our Skyr yogurt starter cultures are shipped in barrier-sealed packets as freeze-dried yogurt cultures.
Refrigeration recommended.
Use by date on bag.

Tastes Like Cheese

It didn't turn out as I expected, based on buying the "Icelandic Skyr" yogurt. It is fine if you are wanting a soft cheese, like cream cheese.

Tasty!

I really enjoyed making and eating Skye yogurt. I was surprised to find out it is really a cheese!

Delicious!

Followed directions exactly with good results.

I go the easy route, and it's still good

After seeing that you activate the culture for Skyr the same as other heirloom cultures, I decided to try the Skyr yogurt both ways. I made a batch using rennet (per Skyr instructions), and a batch that I just sat at room temperature without preheating, rennet, or anything (per instructions for other heirlooms). I used whole milk for both. I didn't notice any difference between the two, and I'd rather avoid the rennet AND making half a gallon of yogurt at once (that's a lot to make for a single person!) It's also much thicker than other heirloom cultures. If you appreciate the simplicity of heirloom cultures but would like something thicker (I'd say it's at least twice as thick as Matsoni, which seems to be the thickest of the 4 in the set), try Skyr! You can try it both ways and see which way you like.

What Our Customers Are Saying

I've tried the Filmjolk and Matsoni so far. I love the taste and freshness. I don't think I'll ever go back to commercial yogurts. Filmjolk was thin the first time, as described. The second culture was thicker and was fine. Matsoni took longer to culture, but was thick and very tasty. Also, I've had excellent customer service. I've shared some cultures with my friend and she loved it as well.

I have had great success with all of the starters. They are all delicious in their own way and so easy to make! I use non-homogenized, pasteurized whole milk from a local dairy. I waited a long time to try these out and am so glad I finally purchased them. I prefer these to kefir - they are a bit easier.

Sofya

It's awesome that you guys offer these somewhat obscure types of yogurt! Were totally off grid and the mesophylic cultures are perfect for us.....trouble free and easy for the kids! We gave all our children some in their Christmas stockings this year and they were actually excited about it! Win-win-win!!

Dave

Received faster than I anticipated. The cultures were ready to go, no failed attempts. Always receive excellent service from Cultures for Health!
