About Finnish Viili Yogurt Starter Culture 2 Tbsp Fresh

Each order comes with 2 tablespoons of fresh, live Finnish Viili starter culture yogurt (never dehydrated or frozen). This is enough to make a starter batch of 16 ounces of yogurt. Finnish Viili yogurt has a thick and gelatinous consistency. It will become thicker once refrigerated and is quite different than traditional yogurt that you will find at the grocery store in texture. It also has a pleasantly smooth and mild flavor making it perfect for kids and those just starting with home fermentation. The viscosity, stretchiness is another characteristic feature of Finnish Viili yogurt. It is made with the help of a mesophilic starter culture, meaning it ferments best at room temperature. This makes Finnish Viili yogurt stand out among its peers, as most yogurt varieties require heat to facilitate fermentation. This unique ability to ferment at room temperature makes viili the easiest yogurt to prepare at home! Just combine milk and culture, and wait for the magic to happen. While kefir is still the winner when it comes to the amount of probiotics, Finnish Viili yogurt is next in line. It contains several strains of live Lactococcus lactis (cremoris; lactis biovar diacetylactis), K. marxianus, P. fermentans as well as Leuconostoc cremoris (1) (2). Instructions: Combine the Viili starter culture with whole milk in a glass vessel. Put on a lid or secure a cloth on top. Leave at room temperature for 24-48 hours. This yogurt is perfect to make smoothies, parfaits, frozen yogurt. You can get creative and find new ways to enjoy your healthy home ferment: add to salad dressings, sauces, and dips to add gut healthy probiotics to all of your meals.
