BRAND: theMilkman® Cheese & Yogurt Cultures
SKYR is an Icelandic high protein dairy product similar to Greek yogurt but is even creamier and smooth due to the added step of using Rennet.
Also known as a 'cheese yogurt' due to the use of Rennet; SKYR is firm yet creamy and incredibly delicious.
The steps to make SKYR are similar to making Yogurt: heat milk to 185F and maintain for 10 minutes; let cool to 110F, then add
culture, and also add 4 drops of SKYR Organic Rennet that has been diluted in 2 tablespoons of filtered water. Stir in culture
and rennet and then allow to incubate approx 8 hours still at approx 105-110F. (we recommend using theMilkMan Yogurt Incubator)
The SKYR after incubation is much firmer already than yogurt with greater separation of curds into a mass and surrounding whey; SKYR CURD.
Gently cut the SKYR curd into cubes (it will fall back into the whey) and then pour out into a draining bag inside of a colander that
is inside of a larger bowl.
Allow to drain for 6-8 hours; the whey will collect in the lower bowl and the SKYR up top will be incredibly smooth and creamy.
Some recipes call for whipping the SKYR at the end- we find it creamy and smooth without that step
Serve plain, or with fruit or your favorite topping such as honey or agave syrup!
