Bacillus Bulgaricus Skyr starter makes genuine Icelandic Skyr of exceptional quality with classic Skyr taste, thickness, mild
acidity, and aroma. Our Skyr has a thick and creamy consistency and a
characteristic mild flavor.

Our Icelandic Skyr starter is an authentic skyr heirloom starter.
Each pack contains a loose powder mix, in perfect proportions, of the two 
strains required to make the perfect Skyr — lactobacillus bulgaricus and
Streptococcus thermophilus.

Skyr is an Icelandic dairy product, and it’s been a staple food of
Icelanders for thousands of years and has, in recent years, gained a
world popularity much similar to Bulgarian yogurt.

Skyr has a slightly sour dairy flavor, though much milder than the
tangy Bulgarian yogurt. It is thick and creamy, similar to the Greek
yogurt, but has a milder flavor. It is thick, creamy, and delicious, and
is best served cold.

Our Skyr starter makes genuine Icelandic Skyr of exceptional quality
with classic Skyr taste, thickness, mild acidity and aroma. Our Skyr has
a thick and creamy consistency and its characteristic mild flavor. Our
Skyr is the only original Icelandic Skyr recipe using heirloom cultures
that is available anywhere in the world.

This is an heirloom Icelandic Skyr starter with live active bacteria,
which means that you can reuse skyr from your previous batch to culture
your new batch, for as long as you wish.

The starter contains lactic acid cultures isolated from natural
sources in ecologically preserved areas in Iceland and Bulgaria. It is
fully natural and organic with no preservatives, additives, artificial
colors, or flavors. It contains no GMO ingredients and it is soy and
gluten free.

Type: Heirloom Icelandic Skyr starter. This means that
You can make endless batches of skyr, simply reusing your previously
made skyr to start a new batch.

Storage

Store the Skyr starter in the FREEZER.


Use by the date indicated on the label.

Bacillus Bulgaricus starters are shipped in sealed sachets.

Transporting the packs (i.e., shipping them
to you) at ambient temperatures (even in the warmest climates) is
perfectly OK and will not damage the live cultures. We use a
freeze-dried process that keeps the strains alive and comfortable even
during long trips in hot weather.


PREPARATION STEPS:

  1. UHT MILK 1 LITER (Anchor Milk) .. cut top open
  2. Throw the contents of starter into a 1-liter milk pack
  3. Stir starter with milk for a few minutes so it is mixed well (for a thicker consistency, add milk powder)
  4. Let it stand/cultivate for about 6-10 hours (depends on required thickness)
  5. Put content in the chiller
NOTE: This is a heirloom starter. This means you can reuse a freshly made yogurt batch a few times to make a new batch of yogurt

Needs to be warmed, but works great for quick face re-application
Style: SPF 50, Size: 1 count (Pack of 1)
I love mineral sunscreen, it really works the best. But I also do not love mineral sunscreen because it's hard to apply. I don't think it matters what you do, they're just always difficult to apply and always leaving the white. This one isn't much different. I'm a scuba diver and my face sunscreen is washed off quickly doing multiple dives. I also get a weird "mask sunburn" if I don't reapply... but since I'm a diver I can't bring myself to buy or wear sunscreen that's not reef safe into the ocean. I was unsure if this would work because it's pretty solid. I threw it in my bag and once the sun warmed it up a little, I was able to apply it fairly easily between dives. I don't think it works unless it's warmed a bit first, but I like it for this purpose.

I Wanted to Like It
Style: SPF 50, Size: 1 count (Pack of 1)
I really wanted to like it because of the great reviews it gets with backpackers and generally with people that don't like "greasy hands syndrome" after applying sunscreen. But after using a stick I found that it's just not that good. The good: small, lightweight container. Not greasy. Good protection, I was in the sun all day hiking multiple days straight and only put on sunscreen twice per day and I didn't have any burning... and I burn easily. The bad: Value: the $12.53 sunscreen container only lasted about 8 days. And that was just my arms, neck, and half my face since I wore a shirt and long pants and a wide brim hat every day when hiking. I would expect this amount of sunscreen to last a lot longer than that on such a limited area. I'm not a big person either. Application, chafing: it's the opposite of greasy, almost chalky. You use the stick to apply to your skin in stripes, then you have to "blend it in" by rubbing with the backs of your hands so your palms don't get chalky. Since the stick is so dry this requires a fair amount of force and it chafes as you rub it around. When your skin a bit sandy it hurts. Application, crumbling: on a chilly but sunny morning, about 45 F, I applied sunscreen and small chunks of the stick crumbled off. I watched precious chunks of the already overpriced sunscreen drop to the ground. Residue: while it's not greasy, it's physical sunblock so it gives your skin the characteristic whitish sparkle. That's to be expected. But what I didn't foresee is it will rub off on anything your skin touches. My gear had white chalk-like marks (technically titania powder?) on my shirt collars, backpack straps, sunglasses, and a few other high-touch items. Overall I think it's a neat idea. I'm not overly disappointed with my purchase. But for $12.50 I expect sunscreen to be easier to apply and for the container to last longer than about 8 days. I can't burn $50/month in the summer months when a single container of chemical sunscreen will do the job. Pro tip: you can buy food-safe 3 oz TSA travel containers. Load one of those up with chemical sunscreen and you have something that beats this in every way except for the greasiness, which you can mitigate by picking a lower SPF sunscreen (the 30 SPF you wear is infinitely better than the 50 SPF you skip!).

Best sunscreen for kids
This is the only sunscreen my son can use. He has very sensitive skin, and can’t use a lot of other sunscreens. This covers great and is a little thicker so you know it’s staying on.
