What it is

People often eat Siggi's Skyr plain, appreciating its naturally thick texture and tart taste. It pairs well with fresh fruit, granola, or a drizzle of honey for a simple yet filling breakfast. It also serves as a base for dips and spreads, offering a lighter alternative to sour cream or mayonnaise. Its dense consistency makes it suitable for baking as well, where it can add moisture and richness.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional yogurt, skyr is strained multiple times, resulting in a much thicker consistency and a lower lactose content. The flavor is typically more tart than regular yogurt.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining skyr fresh, ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use. Store it in the refrigerator at all times. It is best to consume it by the expiration date indicated on the packaging for optimal quality and taste.
