Skyr is the latest good-for-you food you need to know about
You'll want to get to know this traditional Icelandic soft cheese (pronounced "skeer") that in the United States is often referred to as “Strained yogurt.” It's thick, creamy and packed with protein, calcium and good-for-your-gut bacterial cultures.
In the ninth century, Vikings from Norway and Britain brought skyr-making practices—at the time, widespread across Scandinavia—to Iceland. Now, skyr is an exclusively Icelandic dairy product, as other countries have abandoned production. We have started producing Skry in smaller batches and plan to eventually upscale our production within the next year.
