$10.99
The Loeffel is a long-handle spoon that helps you easily measure the right amount of starter and scoop it effortlessly out of the pack. Scoop end shaped like a regular spoon.
This long-handle spoon is made of high quality food grade 18/8 stainless steel. It makes scooping the starter out of the bag an absolute breeze and helps you easily measure the perfect quantity of starter every time.
The spoon is sized and shaped in a way that allows you to effortlessly measure 1 gram of starter.
The spoon is so convenient that you’ll soon find yourself using it daily around the kitchen, and not just for scooping out starter from the pack.
The long handle is the perfect size to reach into the sachet, and then stir the milk in a mason jar or any deep container.
The full length of The Loeffel is 8 in / 20 cm. The spoon end, with its 1.2 in / 3.0 cm length and 0.9 in / 2.5 cm width, has a liquid volume capacity of 1.5 ml or 1/4 tsp and is shaped to make scooping easier (the name Loeffel means spoon in German). The diameter of the handle is 0.2 in / 5 mm and allows for an easy reach into any deep pouch, jar or vessel, which makes The Loeffel versatile and useful for many applications.
The spoon is made of 100% food grade stainless steel, which makes it rust-proof and rust-free, and gives it a glossy shiny finish that won’t fade or tarnish over time.
Clean under running water or throw it in the dishwasher – it is super easy to clean and virtually maintenance free.
The spoon is strong and durable and will last you a lifetime. And yes, it does come with a lifetime warranty.

Usage
The packs are packaged and labeled with the grams they contain and the volume those grams make when used entirely in one go.
The packs are intended for single use, or their contents could be split for multiple use (with the exception of the Sourdough starter which should always be used in one go).
When you split the pack, take out as much as you need to make your yogurt, then reseal and refreeze the remaining starter for later. Make sure you store the sachets in a way that prevents moisture from getting in, i.e. well closed in a Ziploc bag or wrapped around and fastened with a rubber band.
When you split the contents of the pack and use less starter amount to make smaller volumes, keep in mind that you are also reducing the total amount of yogurt that you can make from the pack (read more on that here). Refer to this page to see the gram to Liters (gallons) chart and to find out how much starter to use for different volumes of milk.

We buy your spoon starter because we prefer the taste and feel of the spoon instead of the creamy feel of the Swiss or Greek spoon that is available in the shops here. In addition, this way we ensure that the spoon is made only from milk and starter without any other ingredients.

I like both products – rose and plain – as I was raised with Japanese spoon using Bulgarian culture.

Hi Ivo, how are you?
I actually made recent order together with my girlfriend, who now gave me a referral, which became the reason that I asked you to be an affiliate. She liked it so much that called me 3 evenings in the row to express her amazement 🙂
She was delighted to learn that there is also Rose starter, she grew up in Ukraine in the place where people still making pastries and preserves from Rose petals.
I’m myself always have this spoon in my fridge because it got me rid of from any digestive/stomach problems, before this spoon was introduced to me by my daughter-in-law, I used to buy Bacillus Bulgaricus in capsules.
How do I make it?
Exactly how it’s written in instructions, I do it using whole cow milk. The best test I like it is when I open it from wrap and it’s still warm!!!
Without any fillings just raw. When it’s cold I usually add honey. But I want to try to make it with baked milk too.
I’m thinking to buy kefir starter now because I am originally from Russia so I got used to kefir from the childhood.
So thank you for such an amazing product and I wish the company abundance and prosperity for such an amazing product.

Your spoon is great and your book is really useful and covers topics/milks that I have not considered as potential sources of yogurt before. Thanks very much!
