Yogurt, Traditional , 4 Packets, .06 oz (1.6 g)

Hace un yogurt consistente. Es muy caro, pero vale la pena.

I've been buying from this company for years - first from their website and now from Amazon. I don't know what these other people are doing wrong but it works perfectly for me. I do agree that sometimes the starter looks sticky and gets stuck to the inside of the wrapper...but it has always worked for me. In about 4 years of using this product (we make yogurt every 2-3 weeks), one time I had a bad starter, which they replaced for me, no questions asked. I do agree that the packaging could use some improvement. It is a pain getting the culture out of it, and it does seem like something changed about it a year ago, where it is more "clumpy" than it was before. But it still works. I actually make just under a gallon of yogurt using just one of those little packets. Here is my method, hopefully it will help some people out. I bring about 4/5 of a gallon of milk up to around 185-200 degrees. If you keep it at that temp for longer, more water evaporates and you end up with a slightly thicker yogurt. By the way, I use only whole milk yogurt, and make sure you get non-UHT pasteurized milk. The ultra pasteurized process seems to do something that throws off texture in the end. Another tip is to bring the milk up to temp as slowly as possible to avoid scorching or burning it. While that's coming up to temp, I turn my oven on, just for around 5 minutes or so, to warm it. After the milk reaches the high temp, I move it off the stove, onto the counter, and wait around 2 hours for it come down to 110-115 degrees. I usually stir it every 25 minutes or so to encourage more water to evaporate so the yogurt gets thicker. At that point, I put a strainer above my final container, and strain the milk through it. This gets rid of all the little bits that formed while the milk was boiling/cooling. I then open one of the packets, dump it in, and use a wire whisk to dissolve it as much as possible. (CFH - please take note of these reviews and consider looking into packaging alternatives, because this part has become a pain. It has become more clumpy over time). I then cover my container, wrap it in one or two dish towels and stick it in the turned off oven. I also leave the oven light on to give a little extra heat. That is it. I leave it overnight, usually 10-12 hours. In the morning it is yogurt. There will be a little pool of water/whey on top.I use a paper towel and soak that all up and throw it away, to get the surface as dry as possible. Stick it in the fridge, and a few hours later it's ready to eat. Again, with this method, I have had ONE failure with this product. Also note, this review is for the "traditional" starter. I have tried others and not had great success - but this one works great. I consider myself a bit of a yogurt connoisseur and have tried many other methods - including starting with commercial yogurts as the starter. Nothing has worked as well as this one. Hope this is helpful to anyone else trying it out.

That it’s wonderful.

I followed the instructions and the yogurt turned out beautifully. I will be ordering again :)

i used this with whole milk in my bread maker and it turned out creamy and delicious!
