WHAT on earth IS SKYR?

In simple terms, skyr is a thick and creamy dairy product that's a lot like Greek yogurt, but it comes from Iceland and has some important differences.

Skyr is made by taking milk and adding special bacteria to it. These bacteria make the milk thicken and become creamy. After that, they strain away the watery part, leaving behind a very thick, yogurt-like product.  Skyr is even thicker and has a milder taste than Greek yogurt. It's also higher in protein and lower in fat compared to many Greek yogurts.  So, in short, skyr is like a cousin of Greek yogurt from Iceland. It's super thick, really creamy, and a great source of protein! We love that siggi’s skyr is made with simple ingredients and not a lot of sugar.

The story of siggi’s is a simple case of nostalgia turning into a brilliant creation. siggi’s began in 2005 when Siggi Hilmarsson felt homesick for a staple of his childhood diet: skyr. (The thick, creamy, high-protein yogurt from his native Iceland.) The yogurts he found on shelves in the U.S. were much too sweet and artificial tasting for his liking. Using a recipe Siggi’s mother sent, he began making skyr in his small New York City kitchen. It tasted like home. Within just a few months, Siggi quit his day job, bought a whole lot of dairy equipment, and siggi’s was born. We absolutely agreed with siggi’s that life is better with fewer distractions and more time spent on the moments that matter.

True to Icelandic tradition, siggi’s make yogurts that are crafted with less. Their products are made without artificial sweeteners or artificial flavorings. siggi’s are fully committed to making delicious yogurts and plant-based products that have protein made with simple ingredients, and not a lot of sugar, always.
