Improved French Style Thermophilic Heirloom Yogurt Starter Culture

from $15.00

Our Improved French Yogurt Culture allows you to create the classic French-style yogurt known for its thick, creamy body and beautifully smooth texture. Rich and indulgent, this yogurt offers a bold, bright tartness while still maintaining the silky consistency that makes French yogurt so distinctive.

While similar in thickness to Greek yogurt, French-style yogurt is noticeably smoother and more delicate. This improved culture develops a sharper, more pronounced tartness than our original French yogurt culture while still producing the creamy, custard-like texture that French yogurt lovers expect.

The process follows the traditional French method of yogurt-making. Rather than culturing the yogurt in one large container and stirring it afterward, the milk is cultured directly in the individual serving jars. The yogurt is then left undisturbed, allowing it to set naturally into a thick, smooth body that holds its shape.

The finished yogurt is rich, creamy, and luxuriously thick with a pleasantly sharp tang. It can be enjoyed straight from the jar, topped with fruit or honey, or served as a decadent breakfast or dessert.

Simple, traditional, and beautifully refined, this culture makes it easy to create authentic French-style yogurt right in your own kitchen.

Expect:

• Thick, custard-like French-style yogurt

• Smooth, creamy texture similar to Greek yogurt but silkier

• Sharper, brighter tartness than the original French culture

• Yogurt remains unstirred for a thick, set consistency

Rich, tangy, and wonderfully smooth, this culture produces authentic French-style yogurt with a bold flavor and beautifully creamy finish.

CHILD APPROVED!

“Mmmm. Tangy, good, it’s really creamy and I love that. This is a great yogurt! It just needs some honey!” as she flashed TWO THUMBS UP!! before nomming down on curds and whey (yes, we’re serious; we finally got time to make some fresh cheese!).

CAT AMBIVALENT!

Linus the Cat is hesitant every time I give this to him, and kind of looks at me like he doesn’t understand why I’d withhold the “good” yogurt. That said, once he accepts that’s what he’s getting, still laps it up! NO PAWS!! in either direction on this one!
