Greek Yogurt Starter

Make your own tangy & delicious Greek Yogurt. This heirloom variety is a thermophilic (heat-loving) culture that requires a yogurt maker or alternate heating method. Reusable- by reserving a bit from each batch, you can continue to make Greek Yogurt indefinitely!

Do you love Yogurt and its probiotic benefits?  Why not make your own?  It’s easy, fun, will save you money, and help keep your gut healthy!  You also can control what goes into it- commercial yogurts often contain sweeteners, thickeners, and other unwanted additives.

Pro-bacteria found: S thermophilus and L. bulgaricus.

Thermophilic Yogurts are heat loving, meaning they require a yogurt maker or other means of maintaining a 110 degree Fahrenheit temperature for several hours. The milk is heated on the stove to 160 degrees, then allowed to cool to 110 degrees.  Next, your powdered starter is added and thoroughly mixed in.  Once transferred to the yogurt maker, it is incubated for 5 to 8 hours.  Our thermophilic varieties include Greek and Bulgarian.

Both Mesophilic and Thermophilic yogurts are heirloom varieties, and come with two packets per order.  This means that by reserving a bit back from each batch (called back-slopping) as your next starter, you can continue to make repeated batches, and even share with your friends.  Save your second packet for later use.  The heirloom varieties make wonderful cow or goat milk yogurts.
