Product Details Type: Heirloom Greek yogurt starter. This means that you can make endless batches of Greek yogurt, simply reusing your previously made yogurt to start a new batch. Activity and Strength: 1 gram of starter contains at least 25 billion colony-forming unit (2.5 x 1010 CFU/g) of lactic acid probiotic bacteria strains. 100% potency guaranteed. 100% viability guaranteed. Ingredients: Live active lactic acid cultures (lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus). The starter contains nothing more than the strains it is made of and a very small quantity of dried organic skim milk powder. It is the medium on which the strains grow and some of it gets packaged together with them. The milk powder is completely consumed by the bacteria during incubation so there is none of it in the finished product. See some more information about our lactose free and vegan starters. Contents: This is an heirloom starter with freeze-dried live active bacteria. Each sachet contains loose powder mix, in perfect proportions, of the strains required to make excellent Greek yogurt.

Industrial size option: DVS (direct-vat set) packs for manufacturers available on request. If you require starter for vats larger than 150L contact us to place an order. Origin: Produced in Bulgaria. Storage Store the Greek Yogurt starter in the FREEZER. Use by the date indicated on the label. Bacillus Bulgaricus starters are shipped in sealed sachets. Transporting the packs (i.e. shipping them to you) at ambient temperatures (even in the warmest climates) is perfectly OK and will not damage the live cultures. We use a freeze-dried process that keeps the strains alive and comfortable even during long trips in hot weather. Once you receive your starter packs ? pop them in the refrigerator or the freezer for best storage. 2+ years at around 0°F (-18°C) or lower (in the freezer)1-2 years at around 40°F (4°C) (in the fridge)Up to 1 year at ambient (room) temperature. Unfreezing the starter packs and freezing them again (e.g. when using only a portion) is OK to do, even multiple times. Usage The packs are packaged and labeled with the grams they contain and the volume those grams make when used entirely in one go. The packs are intended for single use, or their contents could be split for multiple use. When you split the pack, take out as much as you need to make your yogurt, then reseal and refreeze the remaining starter for later. Make sure you store the sachets in a way that prevents moisture from getting in, i.e. well closed in a Ziploc bag or wrapped around and fastened with a rubber band. When you split the contents of the pack and use less starter amount to make smaller volumes, keep in mind that you are also reducing the total amount of yogurt that you can make from the pack (read more on that here). Refer to this page to see the gram to Liters (gallons) chart and to find out how much starter to use for different volumes of milk. How To Make Greek Yogurt It is super easy to make yogurt using this yogurt starter. You can make your own yogurt with or without the help of an yogurt maker. When you introduce the live culture into prepared milk the streptococcus thermophilus bacteria goes into action first and prepares the perfect environment for lactobacillus bulgaricus, which starts multiplying and slowly turns the milk into genuine Greek yogurt. These two beneficial, transient bacteria work together in the fermentation process that turns milk into the world?s best yogurt. The process takes approximately 6-10 hours to complete. We have described two methods for making Greek yogurt: The traditional method ? if you prefer to make your Greek yogurt the conventional way, manually or with the help of a yogurt-making machine.A fail proof method ? if you have difficulties getting good results with the traditional method or would like to get your results faster, try this fail-proof manual method instead. How to make Greek yogurt instructions. It is super easy to make Greek yogurt using our Bacillus Bulgaricus yogurt starter culture.Traditional Greek Yogurt Making Instructions Use this method if you prefer to make your Greek yogurt the traditional way, manually or with the help of a yogurt-making machine. This is the traditional method to make yogurt manually. If you are using a yogurt-making machine, just follow the instructions that came with the machine. If you are having issues with the traditional method or would like to try the failproof manual method that I like to use, then find it here. Bring the milk to a gentle boil. Milk boils at about 212°F / 100°C. Be careful not to burn it, otherwise your yogurt will inherit the burnt taste. Note: You are doing this in order to kill any existing bacteria in the milk, which could react with the starter strains. You are also doing it because heating the milk denatures its proteins and realigns its fat molecules in a way that makes a more superior yogurt.Let the milk cool down on its own to 110°F / 43°C. You can process it in the same container or move it to separate containers for incubation. One-quart/liter mason jars work best. Note: The easiest way to test for the right temperature is to dip your pinky finger in the milk ? if you can comfortably hold it in for 5 seconds, then the milk is just right.Add the starter from the pack to the milk and gently stir until it dissolves. Note: At no time whisk. Whisking introduces air bubbles into the milk and that slows down incubation.Cover your containers loosely with their lids or a towel. Do not close them air-tight. Towel is better to use because it allows air to still go in, which speeds up activation a bit.Cover and wrap the containers in blankets well to minimize heat loss. Make sure there is blanket underneath them as well. Keep out of draft. Note: During incubation the temperature should ideally remain unchanged at 110°F / 43°C or very slowly decrease over time. Yogurt will take about 6-8 hours to set. Note: Yogurt has set when it separates cleanly from the sides of the jar when you tilt the jar. Keep in mind that the colder the environment, the longer your yogurt will take to set.Move the yogurt to the fridge and keep it there for at least 2 hrs before eating it. Cooling the yogurt will help it thicken and improve its taste.Enjoy! Do not forget to save a cup of the ready-made yogurt to use for making your next batch! Keep that in the fridge and make sure you use it to make your new yogurt within 3-4 days to ensure all bacteria is viable and in great condition. Fail Proof Greek Yogurt Making Instructions Use this method if you have difficulties getting good results with the traditional method. This method will guarantee that you will always get the best results when making yogurt. It is designed to outline the small pitfalls in the yogurt making process and to make it easier for you to avoid them. Bring the milk to a gentle boil. Milk boils at about 212°F / 100°C. Be careful not to burn it, otherwise your yogurt will inherit the burnt taste. Note: You are doing this in order to kill any existing bacteria in the milk, which could react with the starter strains. You are also doing it because heating the milk denatures its proteins and realigns its fat molecules in a way that makes a more superior yogurt.Set aside a cup (200ml) from the milk. Note: You are doing this because the milk in the cup will cool down faster than the rest and you will be able to give the starter more time to thaw and start the incubation process.Keep the rest of the milk in the container you heated it (or distribute it to the culturing containers ? 1L mason jars work the best).When the milk in the cup is at 86-90ºF / 30-32ºC (it will feel lukewarm to the touch), add the starter from the pack to it then gently stir it until it dissolves, about a minute. Note: You are adding the starter to the milk in cup, not to the milk in the containers! When the rest of the milk (in the containera) is ready, at 108-110ºF / 42-43ºC (you should be able to hold your pinky finger in it comfortably for five seconds), distribute the milk from the cup (the one with the starter) to the jars, proportionally to their volume.Gently stir the milk in the jars. Note: At no time whisk. Whisking introduces air bubbles into the milk and that slows down incubation.Place a blanket in your microwave (or oven). Note: Microwaves and ovens are thermo-insulated. By incubating inside them, you make sure you minimize heat loss. Place the jars in the microwave on the blanket.Loosely cover the jars with their lids or a towel.Cover with and wrap around another blanket or a large towel. Make sure the blankets are covering the jars from all directions to minimize heat loss. This will make sure jars stay warm all throughout the incubation process.Leave overnight (about 8 hours). Check to make sure yogurt has set, if it hasn?t, leave it longer and check every couple of hours, until it sets.Move to the fridge and keep there for at least 2 hrs before eating it. Cooling the yogurt will help it thicken and improve its taste. Enjoy!
