UNIQUE: Experience an array of different tastes and textures! Skyr is technically an Icelandic cheese but is typically enjoyed with sweet toppings so has become an honorary yogurt; Piima is a mild drinkable yogurt; Matsoni has notes of honey; Swedish Filmjolk is tangy and custard-like; and Finnish Viili has a fun, ropey consistency.
This variety pack of Scandinavian yogurt starters from Cultures For Health is the perfect introduction to yogurt making. You'll receive our Icelandic Skyr Yogurt Starter (comes with 2 packets), and our Heirloom Yogurt Starter, which includes one of each of our other favorite Scandinavian yogurt strains: Piima, Matsoni, Viili, and Filmjolk yogurt starter. All included starter cultures are mesophilic, so you won’t need a yogurt maker. They are also all heirloom cultures, meaning you can reserve a bit from every batch to continuously make more and have an essentially limitless supply. In addition to being a tasty snack and versatile ingredient, yogurt is a great source of probiotics for digestive health. 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! Viili is a Finnish yogurt with a mild, sweet taste and somewhat gelatinous and creamy texture. Matsoni, otherwise known as Caspian Sea yogurt, originates in the Republic of Georgia; it is thin and custard-like with notes of honey, and is a popular choice for frozen yogurt. Piima, a variant of Scandinavian yogurt with a mild flavor and thin viscosity, makes a delightful yogurt drink; you can also culture it with cream instead of milk for a tasty sour cream-like topping. Filmjolk is a Swedish yogurt with a tangy flavor reminiscent of cheese and a consistency similar to pudding. Cultures best with pasteurized whole milk, but avoid ultra-pasteurized. For great-tasting treats with gut-healthy probiotics, Cultures For Health is here to get you started.
