The Magic of Icelandic Skyr: Skyr has been a staple of the Icelandic diet for over a thousand years, prized for its creamy texture, high protein content, and gut-friendly probiotics. The live bacterial cultures in our starter culture have been shown to play a crucial role in digestive health and immune function. Scientific studies have highlighted several key benefits:

1. Enhanced Digestive Health:
   • Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus aid in the digestion of lactose, making skyr a fantastic option for those with lactose intolerance.
   • Probiotics like Lactococcus lactis improve gut flora, contributing to better digestion and reduced symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders .
2. Immune System Support:
   • Regular consumption of skyr containing live probiotics can boost your immune response. Research indicates that these beneficial bacteria can stimulate the production of immune cells, helping to protect against infections and illnesses .
3. Nutrient Absorption:
   • The fermentation process not only makes skyr easier to digest but also increases the bioavailability of nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and vitamins B2 and B12. This makes it an incredibly nutrient-dense food .

Simple and Convenient: Making your own skyr at home is simple and satisfying with our starter culture. Just mix the culture with milk, incubate, and strain to achieve the thick, creamy texture characteristic of skyr. Perfect for breakfast bowls, smoothies, or as a nutritious snack on its own.
