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.

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.

everything is alright, but I wanted to make vegan yugort and I know now very recently that I can add 4 gram/liter potato starch. I’ll try in the coming days.

Perfect – now I can try even more recipes!

I’m raised with yogurt, and this starter makes it just the way it’s meant to be.

Hi again Ivo, we were just discussing why the batch I bought last year has gone a bit runny! Any my reason is to renew/restart the yogurt so as to maintain my gut, as prior to using your Bulgarian yogurt I was getting bloating and pain. Since using the yogurt that has all gone!
Thanks again, Ewen.

Hi Ivo

Thanks Julian

Hi 🙂
I like yoghurt because it tastes good, and it has healthy bacteria- it’s just a great product overall!
I am buying from your store because I’m going to start making cheese at home, and initially only needed buttermilk from you guys, but then I thought, why not make youghurt as well? I’m (sadly) intolerant to cows milk, and it’s imposible to find yoghurt from goat anywhere, so now I’ll finally eat my favorite yoghurts again, plus they’ll be homemade!
I’m very excited to try your products, and to see how it turns out!
Best regards from Norway 🙂

I am interested in fermentation generally, making Kefir, Sourdough, fermenting vegetables for a couple of years now.
Recently I read about making yogurt and about ‘heirloom’ starters, mesophilic cultures in particular.
Now it is time for trying it out 🙂

Hi Ivo
Just made a very nice yoghurt with your culture, hopefully I can repeat the success.
Is there a chance of buying the culture in bulk as I intend making a reasonable amount.

Hello!
I love bulgarian yogurt, I have tried many yogurt strains and the best one, with no doubt, is the homemade bulgarian yogurt.
I haven’t made yogurt at home in years and I want to make again homemade bulgarian yogurt.

The number one reason would be that, even though I am sensitive to milk, I can easily tolerate fermented dairy products. Furthermore, I enjoy the flavor and (especially) the consistency of yogurt. Paired with fruit, it satisfies my postprandial cravings for something sweet and is a healthy replacement for ice cream (I love greek yogurt with cocoa powder, peanut butter and banana).
