American Greek Thermophilic Heirloom Yogurt Starter Culture

from $15.00

Our American Style Greek Yogurt Culture is a thick, tangy, dependable culture designed to produce the style of Greek yogurt many American yogurt lovers know and crave. This is a hybrid culture that creates a naturally dense, creamy yogurt with a bright, refreshing tang and excellent body.

When cultured, the yogurt sets up thick on its own and can be strained to your preferred consistency. Strain lightly for a classic spoonable Greek-style yogurt or strain longer for an ultra-thick, rich result. It can also be enjoyed unstrained, where it cultures up surprisingly thick and creamy, almost to the point of gentle roping.

The flavor is clean, tart, and refreshing without being harsh. It has that familiar balanced tang and creamy finish that works beautifully in both sweet and savory applications. Perfect for breakfast bowls, parfaits, sauces, dips, baking, or simply eating straight from the jar.

This culture is reliable, active, and easy to maintain. With proper care it can be re-cultured from batch to batch by reserving a portion of finished yogurt to inoculate fresh milk.

Expect:

• Thick, creamy texture

• Classic Greek-style tang

• Can be strained to desired consistency

• Naturally dense even when unstrained

• Reliable re-culturing with proper care

Tart, creamy, and endlessly versatile, this is the Greek-style yogurt culture that delivers the familiar texture and flavor so many people love while still being simple to make at home.

CHILD APPROVED!

Our child taster had this one with crackberries (honey fermented blueberries), and she said it was okay, but not as sweet as she prefers her yogurts to be. That said, she still ate a lot of the pot of yogurt and asked for the rest to be frozen for her. ONE THUMB UP!!

CHILD APPROVAL REVISION!

We didn’t freeze the rest of the pot of yogurt. We put it in the fridge because we were lazy, And then we tried to pawn it off on her to get it out of the fridge today. Being amenable to the plan, she ate it. We asked her how it was, and she said, “it was really good!” We asked if the crack berries just had to hang out for a while first and she said yes, then telling us she revised her rating to TWO THUMBS UP!! in instances where it gets to marinate in whatever flavoring it gets.
