## Description

Cultures for Health Skyr Icelandic Yogurt Starter Culture | 2 Packets Heirloom Mesophilic Active Cultures for Yogurt Making | DIY Probiotic Yogurt for Stronger Gut Health | No Yogurt Maker Required

Review: Delicious result, well worth trying. Endless flavor possibilities. - Contents of package: -Instruction booklet -2 pouches of dry starter (One pouch made enough starter for two half gallon batches of Skyr, or enough to make one batch and make more starter) -2 rennet tablets (Each half gallon batch uses 1/4 of a tablet) Pros: -Quality output, once directions were figured out following them resulted in very good results. I'm not personally familiar with what Skyr 'should' taste like mind you, but I got a wonderful creamy yogurt with a bit of tang that my grandmother compared to cream cheese. Cons: -I found the directions to be slightly unclear at first. The directions are broken into two sections but not labeled in a way to clearly lay that out. The first set is to rehydrate and 'wake up' your starter, and the second set is to prep the half gallon of milk to make the actual batch of yogurt. -I love that the rennet tablets are marked and ready to be quartered, but I found that due to the nature of the tablet it's hard to ensure you break it quite right and I ended up with some fragmented extra bits I then had to store for my next batch. The tablets did the job great though that's just a minor critique. Curiosity: I notice many recipe online for Skyr call for heating the milk up to 190F before letting it cool back down slowly to 90-100F. This supposedly helps arrange some milk proteins into a more yogurt friendly configuration but the instructions included skip this step. That said following the instructions included resulted in a delicious yogurt but I intend to try the extra step later to see how it impacts the result.
Review: Makes delicious yogurt, sour cream or cream cheese from a single culture! - Being very fortunate to get a weekly supply of fresh, grass-fed milk from a nearby farmer and using starter cultures from this company, I had been making ‘the best of the best’ yogurt and kefir for many years. Last year my local health food retailer began to sell Icelandic Skyr, which I really loved but as it only came in an individual serving size, it is cost prohibitive to enjoy very often. Several years ago, I purchased the 'Heirloom variety pack' which contains three different Mesophilic (countertop culturing) yogurt cultures from this company and had great success with them. Skyr wasn’t well known in the US at the time, and they did not offer it. But hoping this had changed, a few weeks ago I decided to see if they now make a Skyr culture and was thrilled to find that they do! Skyr is mild tasting and a bit runny in consistency but depending on how much whey you drain from it, it can become not only a great ‘Greek style’ yogurt, but delicious sour cream (with no cream required) and ultimately a fabulous cream cheese! I cannot recommend this company highly enough and that is most surely true of their relatively 'new kid on the block' – Islandic Skyr!

## Features

- INCLUDES: 2 packets of dehydrated heirloom skyr yogurt culture starter and easy-to-follow instructions. This culture is gluten-free and non-GMO, so you know you're only getting the best.
- COUNTERTOP CULTURE: No need to purchase a yogurt maker for this culture! This mesophilic starter requires no incubation—it cultures at a room temperature of 70°–77°F, perfect for beginners.
- VERSATILE: Skyr is technically an Icelandic cheese, but because it's typically eaten with berries, jam, or other sweet toppings, it's become an honorary yogurt! Tip: Adding rennet and/or straining the whey after culturing will make it extra thick and creamy.
- HEALTH BENEFITS: The live culture yogurt you'll make with this starter will be full of probiotics for digestive health, as well as protein, calcium, and vitamins. Plus, you get full control of the ingredients.
- COST EFFECTIVE: Once you've made your first batch of yogurt, you can keep using it to make as many batches as you want—it just takes ½ cup of Skyr per 2 quarts of milk.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What exact cultures are contained in this starter ?**
A: Package doesn't say, but I would suspect the same as what you'd find in a container of Siggi's or Icelandic Provisions (which you can also use to inoculate milk for skyr, btw.)

**Q: Where are the user instructions?**
A: There ought to be a slip of paper inside the envelope.

### ⭐ Texture never got there
*by G***E on August 18, 2025*

Unfortunately I have had rotten luck with all of the cultures for health products I’ve tried. The texture isn’t right after multiple batches and I’ve ended up giving up. I have more consistent results cloning store-bought cultures.
