Arla Skyr Plain Yogurt
What it is
Skyr is a cultured dairy product that has been made in Iceland for over a thousand years. This plain variety has a mild, slightly tangy flavor. It is a versatile dairy option that can be enjoyed in many ways throughout the day. The straining process removes much of the whey, resulting in a denser product.

Its mild flavor allows other ingredients to shine.
