I know they're talking about the skyr, but their ice cream is to die for! This place is a necessary stop whenever we take a trip west and it is so worth it every time!
@Far East Creative Media That's all well and good, but good ice cream is good ice cream and I wish to hear more about that. I'll do business with whomever I see fit. I do not want nor do I care for your input in my ice cream business.

Lots of people in Iceland speak English but no every one. While exploring Iceland 2009 I was driving and made a stop at a station service and I would ask the guy in charge abut getting a cup of coffee from a machine with Icelandic signs only, is it capuchino? he said yes, then black coffee came. Next button.. capuchino? yes again the answer, then again black coffee. I id realize yes was the answer of I do not know :) On the subject: I did try Skyr and I loved it and I make it myself at home. Iceland is so beautiful that I would love to go back¡
My grandmother made her own with buttermilk poured into cheesecloth and set in the oven overnight. My grandfather loved it and ate it with cream and sugar, That was his supper 3x a week with a cup of tea. My grandfather was a Canadian Icelander from Hecla Island in Manitoba.
@@kylesteele9403 does she mean you strain the buttermilk? I make my own cheese from my raw jersey cow milk but iv'e never heard of straining buttermilk?
@@melissakibler4966 Buttermilk is the whey left over from making butter. You can buy it in the store, or we can in Canada.I believe she put the cheesecloth near the bottom of the pot then poured the quart of Buttermilk on top and then placed it it a warm oven which she then turned off and the pot sat in the oven overnight. the process of curds and whey formed and then she could lift the cheesecloth out of the pot in the cheesecloth and separate the whey, leaving the solids in the cloth. This is what they called Skyr.
@Far East Creative Media also we dont support murder of disabled children we just have a policy for unborn children that have been diagnosed with down syndrom to be aborted as long as both the mother and father wish so...dont make it sound liek we hunt down disabled children down with a pitchfork to murder them...
That final quote is the highlight for me. Basically: “Those who can do something, ought to do it, and do it well.” Love the sense of love and duty to his craft.
I'm pretty sure he said it wrong though. since the fat rises in milk, it would have to collect in the center of a centrifuge, whereas the watery parts collect on the outside.
@Far East Creative Media You should really start by figuring out that literally noone here cares about your personal vendetta for iceland, do us all a favor and stop being an arse, cheers.
I actually believe him when he said that he sat alone to appreciate nature unlike other aesthetic youtubers claiming that they “wake up at 6am to meditate and appreciate life”
@@anthyavila9726 true that, i always do that as well when I wake up every morning but ill never do meditating shit because its really boring and a waste of time just sitting there. Fpr me meditation is when you walk by the side of the ocean at 5 to 6 am and smell the salty sweet smell of the wind and feel its cold breeze brush off your face. And on the afternoon taking a small stroll by the woods and checking the view out atop a small hill. That's what I found relaxing. Though in places such as the cities, I usually hang on restaurants situated in higher altitudes and staring at the sun. In the before and before sunset. Getting to feel that new morning sunshine just feels different than meditating. It's just my opinion tho but I guess growing around with nature just gives you that natural meditative state. Because even in those moments you just stare blankly with zero thoughts in mind. Kinda like booting up for a new day.
Discovered Skyr not too long ago. The food I didn't know I needed and fell in love instantly with. It seems at least that it's a really, really good snack replacement. Specially the plain one. Can always find some low-sugar flavoring and add to it, but even the sweet ones aren't too bad.
@Far East Creative Media It’s more annoying than anything. Clicking on something and expecting a constructive reply, rather than some poorly worded opinion.

I spent 6 weeks in Iceland in the summer of 2009. I was staying at a friend's place in Reykjavik. Within an hour of me getting to his home with his family, he took some skyr out of his fridge and offered me some with a spoon and a huge proud smile - and only after that did he offer me a bed to sleep in. I think this story says a lot about how Icelanders feel about skyr. I hope to go back some day, amazing country! 😃😂❤
What a pleasure it was to watch this man sharing his life and expertise with so much passion and wisdom, he is so present in the moment and paying respectful attention to the interviewer 😊
Greetings from Uzbekistan. It is so cool to know that the same product our ancestors have been producing here in Central Asia for ages is also produced in Iceland. The technique is identical, even using the bags. Amazing! We call it "chak-ki", by the way.
That’s really nice, it’s amazing how technics developed over generations to preserve food. We have the same product in Syria, we call it Labneh, it’s a great breakfast, with extra version olive oil, or with honey.
This is simply curd cheese, in fact using cloth bags is the traditional method for many centuries!! While in Turkey, Greece etc they are drained more so the finish product looks and tastes more like cheese but not really again as becuase it is made from previously used milk it tastes pretty plain. But people like it for it's extremely low fat content and consume it as a diet product...
Icelander living in Norway for 7 years now and Skyr and dried fish i miss most of all from home. There is something in stores called Skyr but its so full of artificial sweetener its completely unedible. Proper Skyr with sugar and loads of cream on top is just pure food heaven (=
I'm lucky enough to have visited Iceland and those two foods alone have me wanting to go back. We can get skyr here in Canadian groceries, but it's not the same. Even the stuff not loaded up with sugar.
After i watch some Iceland food documentary, from shark meat to baking in hotspring and this, one thing i can confirm, they are awesome. They all possess a character that you can sit and talk all day.
Yup to Johann. If you’re American, it’s very similar to Alaska. What comes to mind as an example is The Proposal has a scene where they talk about the light and Andrew closes the curtains because it’s bedtime and Margaret was complaining about the sunlight 😂
I live in Sweden, and some years ago we’d have Icelandic Skyr available in the supermarket. I bought it sometimes because I generally like yoghurt and it’s good for you, and Skyr was actually pretty nice. I haven’t seen it for a long time now though so seems it got discontinued for one reason or another, quite possibly it couldn’t keep up with the competition against quark which is immensely popular here as a more protein rich alternative to yoghurt
In Germany Skyr just started popping up in supermarkets during the last couple of years. It seems fairly popular. Interesting how things are in other countries
From the US here, and we have Skyr too. I lovee it, and wish I could have a taste of this fresh version someday. We also get Kefir, Labneh and many other yogurt/ dairy products. I'm sure nothing beats it made inland though. Never had quark though. Will try it if I ever come across it.
@@Anna-pj8te Skyr was originally a norwegian product that has been made since the 800s, but it has since become more associated with Iceland, and recently become more popular here too yes.
In the Netherlands we have something similar called hangop (literally "hang up") where we drain yoghurt or buttermilk in a cheesecloth or clean tea towel, typically hung by binding the four corners of the cloth together; it's often eaten as a simple dessert with some (preserved) fruit or a fruit syrup. You can buy commercial versions, but it's also really easy to make at home from yoghurt or buttermilk (which also gives you control on whether you want to make a skim version similar to skyr by using buttermilk or fat-free yoghurt, or a semi-skim or full-fat version using low-fat or full-fat yoghurt), you just need to make sure you start well in advance due to the large amount of (passive) time it requires.
@@BeautifuloONightmare Previously i lived in a rather calm vilage, but for 12 years now, im living in the middle of a city and i can easily say, i long for nothing more, than a calm, "boring and lonely" place to live in. Im so sick of this rushing crowd and the noise around me. So id say there are atleast a few people who would really love to live in a far away place like Iceland
This product really reminds me of the Middle Eastern Labneh. Labneh is exactly what you would call a "yogurt cheese" and is usually eaten with Pita bread, or as a dipping cheese; you should look it up. Anyways Full respect to the man making this Skyr
I like that not only does he know his craft but he enjoys it, is good at it and proud of putting his skills to work, a lot of people just do jobs to make ends meet but he seems to genuinely like it and knows his craft :D
My guess is that they shut down production in that area for filming since they didn’t make much and then whatever they made can be eaten by his family and the production/film crew instead of being sold at market.
@Random Zen actually they make a good point. Hair doesn't usually fall out until you touch it, because it tends to get caught either in other hair or just on you, like when an eyelash falls out.
I first ate skyr a few months ago during my pregnancy, and instantly fell in love with it. My child loves it a lot too. I'm hoping to make it at home for her. I love the guy in the video and he made me fall in love with Iceland.
not really this is just dried yogurt ,just add some yogurt to warm milk and it will thiken then dry it in a bag ,then add salt and dry some more and u have traditional arabic yogurt thats what we do to preserve it but its not chees not even close
I first tried Skyr 20 years ago in Iceland. We had it for a mid-day snack mixed with frozen wild berries our host family had harvested from the countryside in the summer. Super good and filling! I also tried aged shark and dried fish and it was actually quite nice. I love how skyr has become really popular here in Denmark in the last 10 years, because its super high in protein and low in fat and you can add any flavor to it.
I was blessed to visit Iceland and eat the genuine Skye, it was delicious! Iceland is a great place to visit; you must pack proper clothing for the weather. The restaurants in Rikyavik are wonderful and there are lots of things to do.
I visited Iceland a long time ago, and its still one of my favorite places I've been. The people are so loving and curious and hard-working. Never did try Skyr, though the fermented shark I had still haunts me.
Icelandic skyr is like eating ice cream without the guilt of sugar. I make the skyr at home in my instant pot regularly, strain it for cheese-like texture. I get an 8 oz container at the market and use it as the starter. If it's an heirloom starter, you can make the skyr forever and only have to buy the milk to continue the process.👍
I thought i saw skyr cultures for sale? I make yogurt with my raw jersey cow milk but the only difference is skyr is made with skim milk? Is that correct? Thanks
I know this comment is forever old, but if you find this, could you provide how you make skyr in the instant pot? I've only seen stove top directions and would love to make it in the instant pot. Thank you!
@@bubupowa6205 " Faisselle " or " Fromage Frais " is a cheese because it contains Rennet in addition to Lactic Ferments, meanwhile this product Skyr is made from strained yoghurt, in France you can use " Fromage blanc" which is concentrated yoghurt to prepare Skyr or Labneh by straining it using a white cotton textile similar to what appears in video.
Wow! We have been seeing this process in Indian villages of punjab since childhood. Only difference is that this is fully automatic and that is full hard work. Thanks for bringing back childhood memories..
Thank god Skyr is finally gaining the popularity it deserves. I love Skyr, because it is low fat and high protein and helps me with building muscle mass (besides going to the gym regularly of course :D)
9:15 "I'm gonna give u a little taste of it" Lady: Eats the whole thing **me thinking, u are supposed to just eat a spoonful so that he can add the syrup later
I love that guy, he's so to the point. No b.s. he loves his product, his life and that Skyr looks SO DAMN DELICIOUS!!!!!!

Being someone who doesn't really watch this channel, I really didn't think she was unenthused or off throughout this video. Find it weird how everyone is bashing this lady for being 'rude' when at most, she just looks tired.
She has the same look I do when I get self-conscious and start worrying so much about following the conversation that I stop being able follow the conversation. Anxiety is great.
It is a cultural thing. Most of Northern Europe is heavily influenced by Germanic culture. If you ever went to a Lutheran Church you would see it. Logic rules emotion.
In the Netherlands we have something similar, “hangop” which means Hang it up. You take a cheesecloth and line a bowl with it. You then fill the bowl with yoghurt. You tie the cheesecloth together like a sack with a piece of string and hang it up with the bowl underneath it. Leave it for hours. The liquid pours out, and you have a thick mass. My mother used to make it now and then, it was/is a traditional dessert in the Netherlands. I notice that this guy doesn’t add rennet to the milk, only a starter culture of lactic acid bacteria, so it is basically a yogurt as well
@@fredericlaurens4332 when its made traditionally by hand you are likely to have wild yeasts in it. But the industrial product you buy doesn't. The milk is pasteurized before processing it further.
I tried Skyr for the first time when I visited Iceland back in 2011. I didn't even know it was a thing. Nowadays, it can be found at the local supermarkets yet nothing to compare with the original one they make in Iceland. Truly delicious!
There are some great skyr recipes on youtube, maybe you can recreate that bliss. I just bought some rennet and a cheesecloth from amazon to attempt making skyr at home

I do not know why but it brings me real joy watching somebody enjoying real food. admittedly a little envious as well. wow ok I think I understand at least a little. doing that which I know I can. I make mead some of winch will really sneak up on you and nail you right between the eyes but not leave you with a pounding head the next day,
Yeah his explanation didn't make sense to me. If fat is lighter it should be the heavy water that is thrown to the outside rather than the other way around.
@Far East Creative Media so abortion? a totally fine and ok practice that none of us should have a problem with? its not like theyre 3 years old with down syndrome and its being allowed
I miss Claudia.... the way she talks about the cheeses on this channel is amazing and it makes me more interested. This girl sounds tired and not interested...
For those that haven't had it, it's got a consistency similar to cake frosting. Thicker than typical yogurt. Also try (going to type it phonetically) Threw-Ster (ÞRISTUR) Think of a Sugar Daddy with licorice flavoring. Also breakfast at the Grey Cat is a must.
@@mgkatyj just so that it is out there, and my fellow Icelanders sometimes get this wrong too, but skyr is a cheese, it is not a yoghurt, there are some who get very offended when the two are confused
@@ViaticalTree That is exactly what I meant. I am from the south (USA), and we use "Hurt feelings" as a term of indignancy. He is proud of his product and the measures that he uses to get it exactly as he wants, but the girl didn't realize what she was saying and how it would affect him. She said "creamy" as 'smooth'; he took it that she was saying it still contained cream. :)
@@RonRay no, we’re still on different pages. I think you misread his reaction. I don’t think he was offended by it. She says it’s creamy and he’s basically like yeah and without cream! I think the way he expressed it just came across kind of like he was annoyed but I don’t think he meant it that way. I could be wrong, though.
Y’all, she was clearly just exhausted from the constant sunlight and time difference, which is made even more evident by how different she is in other videos. Believe me, I have chronic fatigue, and I am intimately familiar with how it is to have everything coming in on a delay and to then have nothing to give back no matter how hard you try to think through the sludge. So i know that feel when I see it. It’s beyond frustrating. Everyone has bad days, so we should be practicing more thoughtfulness and compassion instead of jumping straight to harsh judgment. Not to say that’s always easy for everyone, but that’s why they say “practice.”

The fwoosh was accompanied by the hand gesture showing they fly outwards, so I think he did a good job for it being his second language.

I need to go back to Iceland. I miss all the great food, and the wonderful people.
Wonderful video. This man can (and is!) proud of what he makes. This is super wholesome.
why did she leave her bangs out of the plastic hat?
Like wearing your mask with your nose out
My guess is that they shut down production in that area for filming since they didn’t make much and then whatever they made can be eaten by his family and the production/film crew instead of being sold at market.
@@Sophie-dd5xr that's probably the reason, you're right :)
Why not cover their eyebrows too while they're at it
@Random Zen actually they make a good point. Hair doesn't usually fall out until you touch it, because it tends to get caught either in other hair or just on you, like when an eyelash falls out.
I first ate skyr a few months ago during my pregnancy, and instantly fell in love with it. My child loves it a lot too. I'm hoping to make it at home for her. I love the guy in the video and he made me fall in love with Iceland.
Thanks for sharing and educating us on the process of cream and how valuable it is to our food sources.
I like her voice. So calming.
A very popular product in the recent years. Love eating it every day, making cheesecakes, different desserts or just eat it like that.
What I love about this video...is that man is loving what he is doing!
It seems to take a lot of effort to make this but it’s worth it.
not really this is just dried yogurt ,just add some yogurt to warm milk and it will thiken then dry it in a bag ,then add salt and dry some more and u have traditional arabic yogurt thats what we do to preserve it but its not chees not even close
i tried skyr, its delicious
@@aramalatrash6147 Is this like labneh?
@@nahum3557 yes thats labne
@@nahum3557 yes. )
That looks delicious, Iceland is full of surprises thats for sure, greetings from Spain.
I first tried Skyr 20 years ago in Iceland. We had it for a mid-day snack mixed with frozen wild berries our host family had harvested from the countryside in the summer. Super good and filling! I also tried aged shark and dried fish and it was actually quite nice. I love how skyr has become really popular here in Denmark in the last 10 years, because its super high in protein and low in fat and you can add any flavor to it.
I like how you guys don't just show the processes + products, but also the people who make them
The guy seems very enthusiastic about this job. Good for him
This guys so wholesome... it was a pleasure just listening to him
I was blessed to visit Iceland and eat the genuine Skye, it was delicious! Iceland is a great place to visit; you must pack proper clothing for the weather. The restaurants in Rikyavik are wonderful and there are lots of things to do.
I visited Iceland a long time ago, and its still one of my favorite places I've been. The people are so loving and curious and hard-working. Never did try Skyr, though the fermented shark I had still haunts me.
This video made me miss Iceland, my home for 2020. Such a beautiful place.
Love the guy. So calm and wise. He loves his country and his pure product.
Im icelandic and its fun to see them trying to pronounce icelandic names
The key to anything delicious that we eat is the amount of love and enjoyment for yourself and others that your willing to give.
Icelandic skyr is like eating ice cream without the guilt of sugar. I make the skyr at home in my instant pot regularly, strain it for cheese-like texture. I get an 8 oz container at the market and use it as the starter. If it's an heirloom starter, you can make the skyr forever and only have to buy the milk to continue the process.👍
I thought i saw skyr cultures for sale? I make yogurt with my raw jersey cow milk but the only difference is skyr is made with skim milk? Is that correct? Thanks
I know this comment is forever old, but if you find this, could you provide how you make skyr in the instant pot? I've only seen stove top directions and would love to make it in the instant pot. Thank you!
I knew there was a good reason why i love skyr yoghurt, the production shown is an art form.
I love the fact that his information is extremly accurate but he doesn’t know ho to express them
The more I watch videos like this, the more I get to love Icelandic people! 😁
When you have nothing to say and absolutely no idea, but dont want to make the other person feel lonely or dont want to act rude.
2:59
Lol
The whole video lol
@@YaraCaroli lmao
Lmao it was so awkward
Looking for this comment to make me feel that I'm not alone. Lol.
This video was so cool to watch! I like my Skyr with honey. I just had some Siggis with honey. Love from a Polish Canadian!
I love skyr. They are so yummy and can be found everywhere here in Iceland ❤️
Great man, great products!!
The back of the guy must be hurting for carrying all the conversation.
@Gunner Elian ~_succy_~
@@jm10014 too late... Mate!
I mean we aren’t here for the reporter. We are here for cheese
sometimes you just gotta let them do the talking, more enjoyable for us
It’s edited that way because it’s him teaching her how to make skyr
Thank you! I always love watching these videos because I also get to hear the stories & characters of the people behind it. Much love ❤️
We do the same product in the Levant area ( Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine), we call it : Labneh which is strained yoghurt.
I think "faisselle" in France is also similar.
@@bubupowa6205 " Faisselle " or " Fromage Frais " is a cheese because it contains Rennet in addition to Lactic Ferments, meanwhile this product Skyr is made from strained yoghurt, in France you can use " Fromage blanc" which is concentrated yoghurt to prepare Skyr or Labneh by straining it using a white cotton textile similar to what appears in video.
Icelandic provisions (Made in US) Vanilla Bean Extra Creamy is the best thing i have ever put in my mouth...is magical!
I love the nice old man with his yogurt cheese, hes so freaking wacky and sweet...
Wow! We have been seeing this process in Indian villages of punjab since childhood. Only difference is that this is fully automatic and that is full hard work. Thanks for bringing back childhood memories..
Thank god Skyr is finally gaining the popularity it deserves. I love Skyr, because it is low fat and high protein and helps me with building muscle mass (besides going to the gym regularly of course :D)
This guy seems so nice and down to earth
9:15 "I'm gonna give u a little taste of it"
Lady: Eats the whole thing
**me thinking, u are supposed to just eat a spoonful so that he can add the syrup later
I thought it was just me. lol. Those "tastes" were huge. I watched how he loaded up her cup after like he realised she was a tad hungry.
@Far East Creative Media what? why would you even bring that up
@Far East Creative Media That's good!
@Far East Creative Media well thats what makes it so tasty, don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it
@Far East Creative Media If you think abortion is murder yeah, if you don't then nah
The guy who makes the stuff is really amazing ! So wise and kind.The like is also for him👍
I love skyr and I find it really filling (usually only eat half the pot), I wonder why it became so fashionable from 2018 onwards.
People use it as a protein source because it has much more protein per 100g than other yogurt.
I love that guy, he's so to the point. No b.s. he loves his product, his life and that Skyr looks SO DAMN DELICIOUS!!!!!!
Being someone who doesn't really watch this channel, I really didn't think she was unenthused or off throughout this video. Find it weird how everyone is bashing this lady for being 'rude' when at most, she just looks tired.
She did look very tired and she was there filming at 1am. She let the man talk, I don't see how that is a bad thing.
She has the same look I do when I get self-conscious and start worrying so much about following the conversation that I stop being able follow the conversation. Anxiety is great.
It is a cultural thing. Most of Northern Europe is heavily influenced by Germanic culture. If you ever went to a Lutheran Church you would see it. Logic rules emotion.
Some people are always looking for someone to trash
Skyr is delicious. Thanks Iceland. Very cool. From Finland
The way she said Skyr was hilarious XD But yeah I always describe Skyr as a very thick yogurt.
Thanks for making this video! I miss Iceland, and the super yummy Icelandic Skyr
In the Netherlands we have something similar, “hangop” which means Hang it up. You take a cheesecloth and line a bowl with it. You then fill the bowl with yoghurt. You tie the cheesecloth together like a sack with a piece of string and hang it up with the bowl underneath it. Leave it for hours. The liquid pours out, and you have a thick mass. My mother used to make it now and then, it was/is a traditional dessert in the Netherlands.
I notice that this guy doesn’t add rennet to the milk, only a starter culture of lactic acid bacteria, so it is basically a yogurt as well
I believe the typical culture for skyr actually contains both lactic acid bacteria and yeast.
You are absolutely correct, it has yeast.
@@fredericlaurens4332 when its made traditionally by hand you are likely to have wild yeasts in it. But the industrial product you buy doesn't. The milk is pasteurized before processing it further.
I tried Skyr for the first time when I visited Iceland back in 2011. I didn't even know it was a thing. Nowadays, it can be found at the local supermarkets yet nothing to compare with the original one they make in Iceland. Truly delicious!
There are some great skyr recipes on youtube, maybe you can recreate that bliss. I just bought some rennet and a cheesecloth from amazon to attempt making skyr at home
It looks awesome, this could be the new icecream in the future.
@Arnór Róbertsson that's not what i said
It is so healthy contains a lot of proteins. It is good fermented milk product.
I want this. In my mouth. Now!
And the process is so interesting 😍❤️
I've never tried it but I want to!
I've never tried this either but I really want this to😍😍😍😋😋😋
I get it locally in Pennsylvania. It is Icelandic Provisions Skyr brand. You can by it plain or flavored, low fat,
@@bpp325 thank you for the info sir🤩
This is simply curd cheese, in fact using cloth bags is the traditional method for many centuries!! While in Turkey, Greece etc they are drained more so the finish product looks and tastes more like cheese but not really again as becuase it is made from previously used milk it tastes pretty plain. But people like it for it's extremely low fat content and consume it as a diet product...
I do not know why but it brings me real joy watching somebody enjoying real food. admittedly a little envious as well. wow ok I think I understand at least a little. doing that which I know I can. I make mead some of winch will really sneak up on you and nail you right between the eyes but not leave you with a pounding head the next day,
4:53 ... Philosopher Ice Cream Maker ... what’s not to love ❣️❤️😊😂
It is te best quality of people who make things. Those who WANT to do it good, not cheap or easy.
2:03 when u were called to present a topic u weren't prepared for
@@robbygarza7115 no not that. Its what he said😂
His voice trembled. Lol.
"Oh shush, I've to explain the process in English now!? For real!? Ok here goes..." 😂
Yeah his explanation didn't make sense to me. If fat is lighter it should be the heavy water that is thrown to the outside rather than the other way around.
@Far East Creative Media ?
@Far East Creative Media so abortion? a totally fine and ok practice that none of us should have a problem with? its not like theyre 3 years old with down syndrome and its being allowed
I like how Icelandic people speak English. Really straight to the point and simple.
I miss Claudia.... the way she talks about the cheeses on this channel is amazing and it makes me more interested. This girl sounds tired and not interested...
I really wonder what happened to her tho.
It's 23 hours of sunlight everyday, I assume everyone would feel tired by that if they're not used to it.
@Far East Creative Media who cares
@@eri6349 everyone should care about that you Nazi
@@stickemuppunkitsthefunlovi4733 its not even murder so i dont get what the problem is???
For those that haven't had it, it's got a consistency similar to cake frosting. Thicker than typical yogurt. Also try (going to type it phonetically) Threw-Ster (ÞRISTUR) Think of a Sugar Daddy with licorice flavoring. Also breakfast at the Grey Cat is a must.
I like this guy
I like you
I've discovered skyr a couple of years ago and I love it. Draining it in linen was something I was wondering about. I would like to try making my own.
So you can have cheese without any fat in it?
Exactly
it doesnt taste like cheese tho, more like yoghurt
It's not cheese. It's yogurt.
@@mgkatyj it is indeed cheese. Not yogurt.
@@mgkatyj just so that it is out there, and my fellow Icelanders sometimes get this wrong too, but skyr is a cheese, it is not a yoghurt, there are some who get very offended when the two are confused
My chickens and I just love this stuff (from Canada).
When she said it was "creamy", it actually hurt his feelings... *_"There is no cream in it!"_* :)
I use creamy as a description of texture, I think most people do. He’s probably taking her choice of word more at face value than she’d meant it
I don’t think it hurt his feelings. I think he’s proud of the fact that he’s able to make it creamy with no cream.
@@ViaticalTree That is exactly what I meant. I am from the south (USA), and we use "Hurt feelings" as a term of indignancy. He is proud of his product and the measures that he uses to get it exactly as he wants, but the girl didn't realize what she was saying and how it would affect him. She said "creamy" as 'smooth'; he took it that she was saying it still contained cream. :)
@@RonRay no, we’re still on different pages. I think you misread his reaction. I don’t think he was offended by it. She says it’s creamy and he’s basically like yeah and without cream! I think the way he expressed it just came across kind of like he was annoyed but I don’t think he meant it that way. I could be wrong, though.
@@ViaticalTree no u trippin
I love this stuff very much! Would choose this over any yogurt! So good.
Y’all, she was clearly just exhausted from the constant sunlight and time difference, which is made even more evident by how different she is in other videos. Believe me, I have chronic fatigue, and I am intimately familiar with how it is to have everything coming in on a delay and to then have nothing to give back no matter how hard you try to think through the sludge. So i know that feel when I see it. It’s beyond frustrating.
Everyone has bad days, so we should be practicing more thoughtfulness and compassion instead of jumping straight to harsh judgment. Not to say that’s always easy for everyone, but that’s why they say “practice.”
Interesting video. I've had Skyr and it's delicious. Watching this process makes me think it is very similar to labne.
