Yogourmet Yogurt Starter (16 Pack Bulk Version) - Make Yogurt at Home - Starter Culture - All Natural, Gluten Free, Kosher, Halal - 3 g Sachets

The packages don't look anything like this photo but I've been buying Yogourmet packets for literally over 15 years starting in the health food store and now on Amazon and elsewhere. I can't rely on having left over yogurt to start a new batch and with this you don't have to!It is consistent in the activity and vigor of the culture and it makes cold start yogurt a breeze. It even works with lactose free UP milk.I have also added a tablespoon of purchased plain Greek yogurt just to make the fermentation more robust and to vary the strains. That works great also. It works with or without a sugar substrate (for sugared yogurt I use sweetened condensed milk).I've even been able to get yogurt made in a milk carton in my oven when I need a bunch and was out of vessels. The Pyrex half gallon glass measuring pitcher works supremely well if I'm not using my pressure cooker.So many options and this supports them all.

This starter produces an excellent yogurt. I'm a beginner at making yogurt, however, the instructions were easy to follow and there's plenty of outside YouTube videos for making yogurt. The first batch I made was thinner than I hoped but the taste was mild and delicious. I will continue to experiment with adjustments but so far, so good.

Works great my love wife loves it

My recipe calls for three packages and the yogurt is tangy and delicious.I stir the finished yogurt for a smooth texture.

Love this starter! It has just the right combination of bacterial cultures that I desire. Creates a delightfully tart yogurt. Have used this for a while and shall continue to do so.

The starter works well, but its expiration date is less than a year. I purchased several units with different features, but it’s challenging to use them within a year.

Of all the yogurt starters I've tried, this seems to be the one I've used the most. The price is the best. One pack does a quart of milk. I do a gallon at a time in the INSTAPOT - so it's 4 packs per load. There's a filler material in each pack, probably milk sugar. The texture I want doesn't come from fermentation, it comes from the straining process. I seek the thickness of a GREEK yogurt, not the runny stuff you get after fermentation. and that can take some time. And effort.

Always Reliable and effective yogurt culture, if one follows instructions correctly.
