Read this long list of reasons why our starters are good for you.
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.
Help
Bacillus Bulgaricus starters are easy to use and are strong enough to make sure that the fermentation process completes naturally and smoothly, under the right conditions.

Hi Ivo,
Thank you for your email I appreciate it your ask. Several years ago I was in Rome meeting my friend and she took me across town walking to a health food store to buy this Rose yogurt that was imported from germany. It was in a large glass jar. I love rose and this was the most amazing yorurt i had ever had. I lived in New York city pre pandemic and I have had a lot of great yogurt. I became so obsessed with this Organic German Rose yogurt and of course there was no way to buy it here in the USA.
This morning this same friend and I were speaking. She lives in India and I am on Nantucket Island. She follows a strict Ayervedic lifestyle and was telling me that rose is excellent for Migraines. I often crave Rose and I suffer from Migraines. We spoke of some rose herbals and then I decided to google the German Rose Yogurt. That’s how I found your company. I didn’t know where you were based until after I ordered. I chose the faster shipping because the mail sucks and I didn’t know how far it needs to travel to get to me.
I think it’s amazing your company. I can’t wait to try it. I have never made Yogurt before. I also Do not buy it. because it’s hard to settle after having something so incredible like the one I had in Rome.
Happy Full Moon and enjoy the weekend.
Best,
jenna

Ivo,
We made our very first batch of Damascus Rose Bacillus Bulgaricus yogurt with local, organic, full cream, whole, natural cow’s milk and each enjoyed a serving of the yogurt this morning.
This is the first time we have ever cultured, smelled, or tasted your Damascus Rose Bacillus Bulgaricus and I wish to comment that it was an unequaled experience that can best be described by the word ethereal.
The combination of bouquet, flavor and consistency are uniquely delightful and uplifting ofbody, spirit and mind.
The experience brought to mind the song “Morning Has Broken” by Cat Stevens.
Damascus Rose Bacillus Bulgaricus is a perfectly lovely way to start the day – or enjoy at any time!
Thank you very much for creating and selling this product. And also for taking interest in what your customers have to say about your fine products.
Sincerely,
Margaret

Dear Ivo –
You were too late in sending your email with a discount coupon. I enjoyed the ROSE yogurt starter so much I placed a much larger order on Wednesday October 9th! It makes a beautiful, thick creamy yogurt with A2 2% fat cow’s milk. (I’ve decided to only partake in dairy products that do not contain the A1 protein casein which nearly all dairy cows in the United States carry. The A2 milk brand available where I live is from New Zealand cows certified to carry only the A2 protein casein.) I make my yogurt in a “Euro Cuisine Electric Yogurt Maker” with low heat in individual glass jars for about 12 hours to get the consistency I desire. Then cap the jars and store in the refrigerator. Thank you for such a wonderful product, I am a devoted fan!

One word…..Divine. Truly Nectar of the Gods – LOL. I got the regular and the rose. I use the regular for making soy yogurt/sour cream. But the Rose…..ah, the Rose! It reminds me of
lifetimes in Turkey. I want to thank you for I really appreciate the obvious Love you have taken in developing these cultures. As a vegan I culture only non-dairy milks and these
cultures of yours are fool-proof, every single time, with almond, with coconut…absolutely perfect every time.
I have the Luvele yogurt maker and it is also wonderful. I have found that when I use your cultures in the Luvele, I never get whey. And the yogurts are never watery. Before I found
you I was buying organic goat yogurt to use as a mother culture once every six weeks, and I had to drain whey from all my yogurts, so this is really cool as I have Greek Yogurt from the
get go, no dripping, just wonderful yogurt.
I’ve gotten really lazy now….your starter is so inexpensive that I just put a 1/8″ tsp in the 32 oz non-dairy milk and put it in the yogurt maker. So yes, thank you for the coupon, I will most definitely use it.
Peace Be Upon you
