How does Skyr differ from yogurt?

It’s normal to compare Skyr to yogurt—they’re near each other in the grocery store, and they’re both thick and high in protein—but Skyr is not yogurt. Skyr has been a traditional dairy provision in Iceland for thousands of years and is made from its own unique Skyr cultures. Icelandic Provisions Skyr contains more protein and less sugar than the leading yogurts.*

*On average, our flavored varieties of Skyr are protein packed with 20% more protein and 30% less sugar than 5.3 oz of regular yogurt. With only 1.5% milk-fat and exceptional levels of calcium.

What are Original Skyr Cultures?

Cultures are to Skyr as hops are to beer. The types of culture added determine its distinct texture and flavor. The Original Skyr Cultures used for Icelandic Provisions Skyr are particularly unique, given that they have been treasured and preserved in Iceland for hundreds of years. Our partnership with the oldest dairy cooperative in Iceland, MS Iceland Dairies, allows us to use these cultures and produce traditional Skyr, bringing you the original recipe.

Is your product made in Iceland?

No, we produce our traditional Icelandic Skyr in upstate New York using milk sourced from the family-owned farms that neighbor our plant. We bring our original Skyr cultures in from Iceland. And we continue to work with the oldest dairy cooperative in Iceland, MS Dairies, to maintain the heritage and quality of our Skyr—meaning it’s 100% authentic, even if it’s produced here in the United States.

What is Skyr?

Skyr has been a provision of Icelanders for more than a thousand years. Although it’s often compared to yogurt, Skyr is distinct in several ways. Skyr is a densely concentrated, cultured dairy product that’s thick, creamy, and packed with protein. In fact, it takes nearly four cups of milk to make each cup of Skyr. Our Skyr is unique because it’s made with Original Skyr Cultures, which makes it the only authentic Icelandic Skyr in the US market.

We are very sorry, but we can't seem to find a match for that.
