This is an authentic Greek heirloom yogurt starter. Each pack contains loose powder mix, in perfect proportions, of the two strains required to make the perfect Greek yogurt — lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus.
The Greek yogurt starter makes Greek yogurt which tastes as amazing as Bulgarian yogurt, just a bit milder, not as tart, somewhat creamier, and somewhat thicker than it. Greek yogurt is very similar to Bulgarian, just less tart and thicker and this is exactly the yogurt this starter will make for you.
The starter is organic and fully natural with no preservatives, additives, artificial colors or flavors. It contains no GMO ingredients and it is gluten free.

I have a question. Do you use different strains of bacteria to make the different kinds of yogurt cultures that you sell? I’m just curious. I tried the Rose, Greek, Kefir and Balkan cultures and they all are pretty similar in thickness except I find the Balkan style to be a little bit more tart then the rose or the Greek and the Kefir seems pretty similar to the Bulcan style and just as thick. I also find the Rose and Greek to be more smooth and stretchy like honey and the Kefir and Bulkan to be in more airy. I’m curious how these changes come about if you are using the same bacteria culture for all of of them. Or are there different strains added for different effect? One reason I want to know is curiosity but another reason is because I have heard that it is good to get a variety of different strains of bacteria in your system and not just one kind consistently so I’m just wondering if your different yogurts
provide some of that variety?
Thanks so much for the yogurt!
I don’t typically like plain yogurt from the store and I like yours.

Hi Ivo
Finally I have had the energy to blog about the greek yogurt, and to get the give away startet today. I will have a live sending 15:30 on my page, tell about the greek yogurt and how to win. I also change some of the packet, as I used the packet of 16 l to testing and making the yogurt, so took some of the 8 l you send to me and I use that in the give away.
I have after last time made the greek yogurt 2 times, one time I was rely impressed over the culture because the whole village lost the power supply it had a little bit heat in the instant pot for 3 hours then nothing for ap. 7-8 hours. I just turned the IP on for the time before we went to bed and out in the cold room over night.
all the best

Thanks,

I love the product, and enjoyed the Greek Yogurt samples as well. Easy to make and easy to eat because it’s so good. I bought extra for gifts and I’m sure they too will become your regular customers. Thank you!

Hi Ivo,
What can I tell you about your wonderful yogurt? We have been using your yogurt and kefir cultures for quite a long time, and recently we’ve tried the Greek style yogurt culture too. All are absolutely great, each a little different and such a joy to eat. We can’t imagine life without these lovely cultures.
Many thanks,

Hi Ivo,
I tried the Greek style yoghurt first, and found it did not set. I added a little more bacillus after raising it again to blood temperature, and this time it set. The flavour was good, though it was as runny as regular yoghurt, which surprised me. Hardly a big problem, though!
Thank you very much!
Kind regards,
Emma

Hi Ivo,
I am indeed interested in the Greek Style yoghurt and went over to your site to read up on both the greek and the regular.

Hello Ivo,
I own a Café that relies heavily on Greek yogurt… I use it in my parfaits, Smoothies, Protein Shakes, etc…
you are the supplier we’ve needed.
Thanks

Hello, so I have been looking for a reliable yogurt culture starter and one that can easily be delivered to Nigeria. I searched online and came upon your site and I’ve already ordered 2 of your products to try. I own a Café in Nigeria, FitLife Cafe and we make almost everything with Greek yogurt. We have expansion plans and we would like to have a reliable yogurt culture starter supplier.

Hi Ivo,
Yogurt was really good. I made the Greek yogurt and it’s some of the nicest yogurt I’ve had. I’ll need more starter as I find it more consistent and easier to use starter instead of previous batch.
I will place another order soon!
With regards,
Ben

I have been using your yogurt started for a long time.
I liked the last one (Greek yogurt) which I just tried very much.
In fact I will order another packet later one.
Thank you and best wishes for 2020

Hi Ivo,
Since I opted out of your mailing list I’d like to voluntarily offer you some feedback.
An excellent yogurt culture. Used it with 2 liters of local organic whole milk cultured in an
Instantpot for 10 hours as I like a little tartness. Drained half the batch for Greek yogurt and am using the rest as is. The whey will make lacto-fermented veggies, root beer, soft cheeses like ricotta and a bunch of other things. The yogurt was excellent on a slice of home made tart
of apples, blueberries, tecolote, soursop, mango and other fruits that grow here. (The Laredo address is a mail forwarding service to me in Central Mexico.)
Haven’t tried the kefir yet but I’m sure it will be good.
Anyway, thanks. Feliz Año Nuevo.

I have just found your site as I was searching for yoghurt cultures. Currently, I am using cultures from Green Living Australia and have done so for quite a while now but am looking to explore other options. My yoghurt production involves an electric cooker that holds the culture, uht milk, full cream milk powder at a constant temperature of 40 degrees for the selected time period. The milk is not heated beforehand and is added straight from the pantry and not cold from the fridge. The culture is kept in the freezer and I have had success with cultures that are twelve months old.

I’ve always liked yogurt. Then I liked Greek yogurt better. As I learned about probiotics, I found Bulgarian yogurt. Which now leads me to make our own.
Thanks

Thank you!!! We are really looking forward to the greek starter.

I have tried the greek yogurt twice, and think the taste is perfect.

Hi Ivo – Finally had a chance to make a 1 gallon batch using the new Greek starter. I usually use your regular Bulgarian starter in 1 gal batches in my InstaPot, and then strain it once it’s cooled off to thicken it up. Tried the Greek batch this morning before straining…it’s definitely creamier and thicker than the Bulgarian, but I’m also missing the nice tang I get from the Bulgarian. I’ll be sticking with the Bulgarian, but will also see how the second generation of the Greek is. I’ll send more feedback in a week or so after I make a second batch.

Hi Ivo
I tried both the rose and the Greek yogurts. I must not have stirred the rose long enough or incubated it long enough because it was lumpy and runny, but the Greek yogurt came out well after 9 hours, even with just whole milk. However I have to say that I personally prefer the original yogurt flavour in both cases. These two are very mild and I like a little bit of tang in my yogurt.
Thank you, and until next time…

Rosemary Mistretta –
Ivo,
Made the Greek Yogurt yesterday. I love the smooth texture of the yogurt. The taste is great and it has less tartness.
I love both yogurts, planning on continuing with both.
Thank you so much for the chance to try the Greek Yogurt. I just love your starter so much.
Thank you,

I have been cultivating my yogurt on a heating pad and a blanket. It works great, on the lowest temperature.

I love Greek yogurt as well as your Bulgarian.
Nancy Illian –
I just experimented with the regular yogurt which I questioned you about a few weeks ago. You suggested to put it in the microwave or a closet in the dark and cover it to help it get creamier. Voila! I did not cover it, as the kitchen closet is very warm, but I kept it in the closet after making for 1.5 days and it is lovely and creamy! Thanks again for your suggestions.
