Thank you. We liked the texture, and my partner, who is Russian by extraction, thought that it had an authentic taste. We use both the kefir and your Greek yoghurt starter on a 24 hour cycle in our yoghurt maker, and like them both. We will be ordering more!

Hello Ivo
I have only just tried the Kafir as I bought some yogurt at the same time.
I love the kafir just as much though so will buy some more and am about to try my own culture to make a second batch!
Best Wishes

Hi there I’m very interested in yr product
I’m looking for a kefir starter to make water kefir
Thomas –
I have continued making the white stuff as usual the same way. I include the results inmy vegetable smoothie I have been regularly making since last August…to get more veggies in my diet. However I have just recently read that I am robbing my facial muscles of exercise by grinding up all the fiber into mush, but good tasting mush!
Now I plan to return to chopped fruit and yogurt/kifir for breakfast.
Finally, I mentioned that I am overwhelmed by all your choices and I don’t know anything about all of the preparation and options. You need to write a essay summary and explain all
the products and eating combination.

Hello,
I got my cultures. The Kefir and the Greek yoghurt are fine. When we need more Kefir, we will be back.

Hello Ivo,
The Kefir is wonderful – quite the best we have tasted. I use UHT milk – as it is sterile and it goes on time after time. No need to heat the milk to sterilise it because it already is. The yoghurt is good but there is only me that likes it, so it’s a slow, low volume use.
regards
Vic

All was good! Thank you!

Hi Ivo,
I put the entire amount of grains into the milk and it turned out fine.

Everything is fine! I ordered two more packs of kefir starter
thank you and Happy Christmas!

Many thanks for the update and response to my question. I can wait for the shipment. As to the mutation, your advice is very useful. I will follow it. Perhaps the humidity in Singapore impacts the mutation.
By and large, my family really enjoy your yogurt. It beats store bought yogurt because it’s smoother.

Dear Ivo,
I like both the Kefir and Greek yougurt starters. In fact I reordered both.

Hello Ivo,
The kefir is GREAT! My honest opinion, is Bacillus Bulgaricus Kefir is the smoothest and best tasting Kefir I have ever had! And my two sons are big fans as well.
Kirsten –
Hello! I had to wait until I’d also made a batch of the yogurt and tasted it. Both are wonderful!
Rachel D. –
All is well. I ordered a lot of culture
John –
The Bulgarian Kefir is good stuff!!

Hi Ivo,
I have long-time chronic gut issues (bacterial and other imbalances) and am hoping that kefir and other fermented stuff will help.
Also, I just love the taste of kefir! Was looking at your recipes which all sound wonderful. Want to learn how to make ferments at home.
Thanks,
Pier

I love yogurt but the sugar gives me problems. I am getting into homeopathy and heard that your yogurt would help in my path to a healthier lifestyle.
Lori K. –
I am trying out the kefir starter. In the past I have used Kefir grains. I am not use to using a powder.
Collin –
Hello. I’ve been using your kefir for years. It’s a significant part of my life.

Hi ivo
I look forward to receiving my starter and reading the hand book thank you.
I always loved having yoghurt, thought it was quite healthy, then found out it was full of sugar, so stoppes having it.
Liz earle raves about gut health, so recently i bought water kefir as i dont like milk.
She also goes on about making your own yoghurt, so i thought why not!!
Im thinking about buying it for my brother too, as theres alot of plastic used, so trying to help the environment too

Dear Ivo,
Thank you for your message and the Kefir starter pack. The Bacillus Bulgaricus yoghurt starter always makes good yoghurts and always has done so, but I have not yet tried the Kefir starter and not sure when I will be able to. I will need to check your website for instructions on how to use the Kefir starter.
I will need to order further yoghurt starter. I normally purchase the large starter pack (150 litres) from yourself, and store it in the freezer, using a bit at a time as I make a batch of yoghurts.
Susan –
I’m not into many milk products except youghurt! Which I LOVE!!!!!.
You gave me a sachet as a gift , okay but what I really liked was the sourdough starter I now have my own with rye flour and I use yours with a strong flour. Love them both.
Susan
P.S. Iam now on my own and make bread etc. For friends and family. They all love it or so they say!
Viki –
Hello Ivo!
Everything is certainly ok and more than ok! I love your bacteria!!
Super tasty and creamy yogurt – it is the best. My husband is an addict to it. He’d probably leave me if it weren’t in the fridge – lol! So I have bought more recently and will continue to do so. Count me in as a loyal and satisfied customer. I have recommended you repeatedly!
Best
