The milk powder is completely consumed by the bacteria during incubation so there is none of it in the finished product. See some more information about our lactose free and vegan starters.

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.

Tried the Rose this morning…so creamy, so tart, thick. Loved it. We make over two gallons yogurt weekly, so I’ll be ordering more when my starter gets weak.
Kevin Gormley –
No problem with the starter, in fact I ordered a new batch of Rose Starter a few weeks ago.
Lyle Jean Hadley –
I love the gentle, pleasant taste of the Rose yogurt and will probably have to order more of that soon 🙂
Kevin Gormley –
I have a Lakeland I litre yogurt maker, so temperature is governed by the unit. The milk is first boiled to 100 degrees Centigrade measured with a jam thermometer and then cooled to 40 degrees before stirring in the starter and then placing milk into pre heated Lakeland unit. Process time allowed 8 hours. The same process produces lovely yogurt using the rose starter. The rose yogurt starter is very much to my taste and will shortly order some more.

I like both products — rose and plain — as I was raised with Japanese yogurt using Bulgarian culture.
Kit Carson –
We really love the Rose flavor starter!
I use a gallon of 2% milk, heat it to between 180°F and 212°F then cool down to 110°F and add 1/2 teaspoon of Bacillus Bulgaricus yogurt starter.
Then I pour the milk/starter into 4 wide mouth 1-quart ball jars and put on plastic lids with silicone seals.
I then place the jars into a small well insulated cooler like a Yeti or RTIC then fill with hot water up to just below the lids and leave overnight. My hot water is set to 115 F.
In the morning I have perfect yogurt that I place into the refrigerator.

It makes nice yogurt!
Patricia –
The 2 litres of the rose flavour turned out well !
A Ashmore –
I have the yogurt for breakfast with honey or fruit,bake savoury dishes, cakes & smoothies hence the purchase of the Rose Culture
Susanne –
Best, healthiest and fastest breakfast and afternoon snack of all time! We make one batch of rose and vanilla (pure Tahiti vanilla from pod or powdered) for sweet yoghurt, and one batch unflavoured for savoury dishes each week. The rose one we make in portion sized jars, and since the Turkish style yoghurt made with Bacillus Bulgaricus comes out with no whey, all we do is stir in 5-6 drops of organic Stevia to sweeten. Breakfast ready in 30 seconds is vital on a busy weekday. The rose oil is very subtle, giving the yoghurt the most delectable taste. /Susanne from Denmark
