“I had tried different cultures and couldn’t make real yogurt. I tried one more time. To my great surprise, the result is perfect… Next time, I’ll add some flavors.”

Nathalie L.

“My Russian wife always make our own Kefir. These kefir “grains” make a very creamy Kefir. She says “They are as good as the Russian “grains” (Which is very high praise indeed.)”

D. Green

“I found that the taste is good not too bitter. I have always purchased this brand and will continue purchasing it. It is the most reliable”.

Cookie

“I love making yogurt and this starter never fails! It makes the best yogurt with Fairlife whole milk …Yum!”

Stephen C.

“I have tried other yogurt starters and this one just tastes the best. I have never had a yogurt failure with this product.”

Emily E.

” It worked great for me and just yesterday, I used a small amt of the yogurt from the first batch for a starter for the next batch.”

Snookie

“These work great with our yogurt making machine. Always make a reliable batch of yogurt.”

Elfrieda F.

“This starter culture makes really nice yogurt. Slightly tart with a natural odour. I rarely eat yogurt without the addition of honey or vanilla extract, however, Yogourmet yogurt does not require additives for my palette.”

Jim S.

“Previously I made Kefir with the kefir grains. This way is a lot easier and makes delicous kefir in 24 hours. I have made three batches with one packet successfully. Definitely will buy more.”

Trish

“I’ve been using these starter packets for several months, very successfully. Love the ease of use.”

Cassie S.

“I am someone who usually fails the first time around with new things but not with this. I followed the directions and I had delicious Kefir within 24 hours. I highly recommend this product if you are branching into the world of fermented foods and probiotics.”

Brie

” I have made a lot of yoghurt, and this came out really outstanding – great flavor and thickness. One of the best I’ve tried. It’s really a good one.”

Dhoopstick

“This is the first time I have ever made yogurt and the starter made exactly what I was looking for, a nice natural yogurt without all the added thickeners and other random things that is in all store bought yogurts these days.”
