Skyr: Pasteurized Organic Whole Milk

Skyr is a cultured dairy product that originated in Iceland. It is made by fermenting skim milk with live active cultures, similar to yogurt, but it is strained to remove most of the whey. This results in a thicker, creamier product with a tangy flavor.

Skyr is often used as a base for yogurt-like products, dips, and smoothies. Manufacturers add it for its creamy texture, protein content, and tart flavor. It is commonly found in yogurt, frozen desserts, and baked goods.

Pasteurized organic whole milk is a common dairy ingredient. It is a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D. The FDA considers milk a major allergen. Consuming dairy products like milk is generally considered safe for most people when eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated milk and dairy products extensively.
