    Description

    Thank you and don't hesitate to ask questions before buying.
    WHAT IS VIILI YOGURT?
    Unlike
    kefir
    or other kinds of
    yogurt
    , Finnish viili yogurt has very thick consistency. It also has a pleasantly smooth texture and mild flavor making it perfect for kids and those just starting with DIY fermentation. The viscosity, stretchiness is another characteristic feature of Finnish viili yogurt.
    It is made with the help of a mesophilic starter culture, meaning it ferments best
    at room temperature
    . This makes Finnish viili yogurt stand out among its peers, as most yogurt varieties require heat to facilitate fermentation.
    This unique ability to ferment at room temperature makes viili the easiest yogurt to prepare at home! Just combine milk and culture, and wait for the magic to happen.
    BACTERIA IN FINNISH VIILI YOGURT
    While
    kefir
    is still the winner when it comes to the amount of probiotics, Finnish viili yogurt is next in line. It contains several strains of live
    Lactococcus lactis
    (
    cremoris;
    lactis biovar diacetylactis),
    K. marxianus, P. fermentans
    as well as
    Leuconostoc cremoris
    (
    1
    ) (
    2
    ).
    Some viili starters have a yeast-like mold
    Geotrichum candidum
    , which produces a peachy fuzz on top. Nordic folks consider it the tastiest part. But if you still pick the blue out of your blue cheese, you do have an option to avoid the fuzz. You can buy a starter culture that doesn’t contain that mold.
    Yemoos
    has a great viili starter that produces real yogurt the day after you put it in milk.
    HOW TO MAKE FINNISH VIILI YOGURT
    Ingredients
    1 pint whole milk, non-homogenized
    1 teaspoon of dehydrated Finnish viili starter culture (mine is from
    Yemoos
    , love it!) or 1-2 tablespoons of previously made viili yogurt
    Instructions
    Combine the viili starter culture with whole milk in a
    pint mason jar
    .
    Cover loosely (a white lid should do it).
    Leave at room temperature for 8-10 hours, or until firm and jiggly. Transfer to refrigerator.
    Reserve 1-2 tablespoons for the next jar.
    Repeat the steps for consecutive batches.
