SKYR

Description

Skyr is a traditional Icelandic dairy product with over 1,000 years of history, originally brought to the island by Norse settlers in the 9th century. While often marketed as a thick, creamy yogurt in the grocery store, it is technically classified as a fresh, acid-curd cheese due to its production method and use of rennet.

Key characteristics include:

• Texture & Flavor: Thick, pudding-like consistency with a mild, slightly tangy, and clean taste.
• Nutrition: Exceptionally high in protein and calcium, making it a popular choice for health-conscious consumers and athletes.
• Usage: Consumed plain with berries or granola, used in baking, or substituted for sour cream and cream cheese in savory dishes.
