Our Yogurt Culture makes a delicious, tangy yogurt that is simple to make and wonderful to eat. Works very well with store-bought milk or goats milk.
CULTURE INCLUDES: s.thermophilus, l. delbrueckii, s.bulgaricus, s.lactis, dry milk powder, lactose, malto dextrin and autolyzed yeast
YIELD: Each packet will set up to 2 quarts of milk.
DIRECTIONS: Heat 1-2qts. milk to 180ºF and cool to 116ºF. Pour into a thermos-like container (or Yogotherm). Add 1 packet starter culture and mix well. Cover and let set at 116ºF for 6-12 hours or until thickened to desired consistency. For a thicker product, add 1/4 cup of dry milk powder prior to adding your culture.
If you are interested in a Greek Style yogurt simply take your finished product and drain it for 2 hours in 2 layers of cheese cloth. (You can use the clear whey on top for soup stocks or in baking.)
We keep them in the freezer in the warehouse. It is OK to ship these at room temperature, but should be stored in the freezer after they arrive. If stored frozen they will last up to two years.
