How to Make SKYR YOGURT at Home (Easy Tutorial)

Skyr is a traditional Icelandic yogurt with around 16 grams of protein per 5 ounce serving!
In this video I show you how to make Skyr yogurt at home, which is not only easy but cheaper that sotre-bought yogurt.

Skyr at the store is not only expensive, but generally is made with homogenized, ultra-pasteurized and grain fed cow milk, which are best to avoid when possible.

When you make dairy products at home with high quality (grass fed/pasture raised, non-homogenized, raw or low-heat pasteurized) milk, you have more control over the quality of the product you are consuming.

You can find high quality dairy products on Azure Standard!
Skip the grocery store and buy high quality organic products. Buy bulk for great discounts!

Follow this easy tutorial so you can make Skyr at home too!

You can use the whey to start new batches instead of buying more yogurt. I freeze it in an ice cube tray that makes cubes that are about 2 tablespoons so I know how much starter I'm adding.

Curious how you wash your flour sack towels. It seems that just a good rinse in the sink and air drying would be the best from my perspective. Putting them in the washing machine with detergent may introduce additional chemicals that I would prefer not to have in my food. Thoughts?

Oh good, a skyr guide that doesn't use rennet. Thanks for this! Rennet is so hard to find where I'm at.

How many days can you keep it in the fridge? Without it getting spoiled.

I have a couple of questions and hopefully you see this.

The Skyr you have made does it have the same texture and taste like Siggis or different? Also in your experience making your own Skyr saved you money vs buying for an example Siggis Skyr?

Can you tell me if using Skyr can make the Icelandic Skyr? or is it necessarily like the cheese process?

[shanx]

How do you store it? Can you freeze it? Would the nutrition contents be the same as the small yoghurt pack?

Hey! How much yield would you expect to get from 1 gallon of milk after its drained? Thanks!

If the whey is probiotic why use store bought skyr to make skyr? The point is to make it at home and not buy it. I’m so confused.

So the milk you're using is not pastorised?

Is the skyr still high protein and stuff or not?

Can i just wrap the pot in blankets for the night?

Skyr is not a yogurt, it's a cheese.
