Filmjölk - Heritage Yogurt Culture - Dried

What you will get:

• An organic cotton pad soaked in Filmjölk heritage yogurt culture. The cotton pad has absorbed the unique bacteria and can be put into a jar/glass of milk to rehydrate and proliferate and make more yogurt. Once the first batch of milk is turned to filmjölk, discard the cotton pad and continue to make yogurt by putting a spoon of your new yogurt into new milk (pasteurized milk is fine!)
• Instructions on how-to proliferate your yogurt culture for years to come! If taken well care of, this is a lifetime supply!

Filmjölk originated from Scandinavian areas, mostly found in Sweden and Finland, and has a more traditional and mild yogurt flavor.

Heritage yogurt cultures have been traditionally heralded as an elixir of long life and health. These cultures are rich in beneficial bacteria, phosphorus, vitamin K, biotin and folic acid – nutrients that are essential to health and well-being. Studies show that cultured dairy may be particularly beneficial as it successfully protects beneficial bacteria from damage in the hostile environment of the digestive tract and acts as an anti-inflammatory. This culture has been dried on an organic cotton pad so that it can travel well. When steeped in milk, it will inoculate the milk with the unique bacteria of filmjölk. Once the milk has properly curdled, discard the cotton pad and continue to use the cultured milk for future batches. As this is a heritage culture, it is a lifetime supply!
