What's the difference between Natural, Greek and Icelandic (Skyr) yogurt?
The world of dairy is confusing. There's more choice than ever. There are three main choices when it comes to yogurt: Natural, Greek or Icelandic. But, at first glance, it's not clear what the difference is between these yogurts.
In this video, we explore all three yogurts, the differences between them, and discuss which we should eat, and whether we should eat yogurt at all. Hint: it depends.

I have stage IV cancer and have gone through extensive Chemotherapy of many kinds and Radiation therapy. During treatment I find yogurt a good and easy way to obtain Protein. You dont have to eat much and its Healthy, low in Sugar and High in Protein with some essential fats and calcium. and its Tasty with Bananas which include a good amount of very needed Potassium, one of the most import nutrient's that my cancer treatments causes to go very low.

That leftover liquid whey that dairy farmers are trying to get rid of, it's actually very very good for gardens.

We had labne mixed with feta on a type of pita pizza appetizer at home tonight and we were discussing it we then ran across Icelandic yogurt and well your video was great at explaining that it is merely skim milk Greek style. I used to drain regular yogurt through cheesecloth, or coffee filters, or paper towels -- to make tzatziki before they started selling Greek style yogurt here. Now it's still sometimes hard to find any plain (unflavored) yogurt that's other than skim, or it's sold only in quart-siEd containers. If I weren't too lazy I could still use the old paper towel method 😂

I'm no expert but.... One, the whey can be used in baking breads (replacing some, but not all of the liquid), making ferments and for making more homemade yogurts (some other uses as well and it keeps longer than yogurt. Two, I was in Germany in the 1980's and purchased Greek yogurt from Quella, a big department/grocery store. Their Greek yogurt was better than the USA Greek yogurt. I don't recall the brand I bought in Germany but it could have been Fage, IDK.

what you are describing here is greek style yoghurt, and not traditional greek yoghurt. Traditional Greek yoghurt is not strained, as it is made with sheep milk, which has a higher protein and fat content than cows milk, so there is no need to strain the yoghurt.

@uteh.3659 10 ай бұрын

@@adamcantcook I don't need to make a video, there are already resources on KZfaq kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNhxkpBimpjbmHU.html I can't get sheep milk here, so I use what the americans call half-and-half or coffee cream with 10% fat to ferment my yoghurts. I always get a thick yoghurt that has the firm texture of greek yoghurt without having to strain it. I use the method that Dr William Davis uses for the L.Reuteri fermented dairy (longer fermentation times at lower temperatures than normal yoghurt makers use). So I don't get any whey that needs to be disposed of, as I don't have to strain it. I use any left over whey that accumulates in the mason jars where I make the yoghurt in, to make the next batch. drdavisinfinitehealth.com/2019/07/how-to-make-l-reuteri-yogurt-step-by-step/

It seems your Dairy Science degree was a waste, mate. True skyr is not made using rennet. The real traditional way is keeping milk in an area that produces the right cultures the best, heat n drain n set. Then using the live cultures from the last batch to make the next one. It is a creamy cheese, not a yogurt, and that was the one real mistake that Adam had made with skyr.
