SHOP BY TYPE
WHY MAKE YOGURT AND KEFIR AT HOME?
1. FRESHER THAN SHOP-BOUGHT: eat your yogurt or kefir within days of making it, while the cultures are at their liveliest.
2. ONLY WHAT YOU PUT IN: just milk and culture. No added sugar, sweeteners, colourings, flavourings or stabilisers unless you choose to add them.
3. YOUR TASTE, YOUR TEXTURE: stop it earlier for mild, later for tangy; strain it for Greek-style yogurt or skyr.
4. SAVE MONEY: one sachet makes about 1 litre, and you can keep reculturing from your own yogurt or kefir, batch after batch.
5. CHOOSE YOUR CULTURE: from classic Bulgarian and Balkan Style to Bifido, Acidophilus, Nordic Style, Kefir and Organic Vegan.
6. IT'S EASY: first batch 12–16 hours in a yogurt maker or any device that keeps a steady temperature for the entire incubation, later batches 3–6 hours.
7. REAL HELP FROM REAL PEOPLE: our YouTube tutorials, Yogurt App, blog, forum and customer service will guide you until you get it just right.
