Genesis Vegan Starter Culture for Vegan Home Made Yogurt 10l.

Yogurt you buy in supermarkets is no longer yogurt. No matter which one you buy 95 percent of them contain added sugar, high fructose corn syrup, dextrose or many of the other names for sugar. This product is as simple as it sounds and is as good as the quality of milk used. We personally use raw unpasterised milk from grass fed cows. Follow the simple directions on the package and in as little as 8 hours plus cooling time you can be eating your own Bulgarian yogurt. For a thicker end product with a more tart taste let the culture sit in the warm milk for upto 24 hours. This way the culture will have eaten more of the milk sugars and produces a product I remember from the 80s. Five stars in my opinion! How do we eat it? With low carb berries such as blackberries and 100 percent cocao. Tart sweet and bitter all in one.

This is a very delicious and wholesome yogurt. It has no bifidus in the yogurt culture, which is a huge plus. If you have low stomach acid and then enjoy a lot of yogurt with bifidus, it can lead to a very nasty condition called SIBO. I found that out the hard way. You only want bifidus at the tail end, not the small intestine as it overgrows and basically turns you into a fermentation factory in the wrong area.I now make this good yogurt with raw cows milk, heated initially to 110-115 f, and the second and third batches from the first culture simply keep improving in taste and texture. It does tend to be a bit soupy at first batch, but after you remove the quarter cup for the next inoculant, you can add gelatin, fruit compote, etc. L. bulgaricus can also be used to make a nice buttermilk and other cultured items as a bonus. The company is great too, very good customer service. I wrote to inquire about delivery time, and they were very courteous and responsive.

Really good! I was looking for a starter from another country and ordered this one. It was actually shipped from Bulgaria. That took about 4 weeks - so plan accordingly. I had to buy some of my usual starter before this one arrived. It's tangy and tart and I really love it. It's a nice change in flavor. I made it in my yogurt maker and it worked perfectly. No problems of any kind.

I made my first batch last week and used some of that for my second batch this week. I love Bulgarian yoghurt. If you can find it in the store it's expensive and not super fresh. The fresher it is the better. I had some serious stomach pain go away while eating this, I don't know if this is responsible, but it definitely has the probiotic properties when it can be used again to make good yoghurt. More importantly it tastes good. It tastes like yoghurt should.

Very good flavor - used it to make coconut and almond milk yogurt. Easy to use. For almond milk yogurt I had to add a little creamed cashew to get the right thickness. I have so happy with the prompt delivery and excellent interaction with the seller. For vegans if you can’t get Yogurmet this is great!

I have ordered boxes of this brand culture over the past few years and have had great results. The last box that I ordered resulted in a less firm yogurt. I was originally using this product years past in an oven heated by the light with good results. I have a yogurt maker now and it is producing even better results. New box of culture...bad results. I used to chain start a new batch 1 time with great results. Now, I just end up with warm chunky milk. I just bought 1 new box to see if anything is different before trying a new brand. Also, watch the shipping options. If it is not Prime shipping, it will be shipped international mail requiring you to SIGN for the package.

I purchased this item a number of times over a two year period of time. The last batch of Bulgarian yogurt culture that I purchased was defective. I used three of the ten packets contained in the box. The resulting yogurt had a soupy cottage cheese consistency. I contacted the seller and was told to return the unused packets to an address in Bulgaria for evaluation. The vendor refused to exchange the product or refund my money. I would think twice before purchasing from this vendor. The yogurt was OK. After a half of a dozen e-mails, I'm still waiting for this matter to be resolved.

This is the best starter. Just follow the directions. This Is what I do. I use 1 gallon of milk (use two yogurt makers) for 1 package of starter. I heat to 180 for about 10 to 15 minutes, Cool down to 110 then add the starter. (I also use a large glass bowl set over a large stock pot, double boiler method) this works best as I've tried them all. I then pour into the yogurt makers for 24 hours, afterwards, I don't disturb, other than to check the temperature, I then put directly into the refrigerator over night, in the morning I strain into Greek yogurt and it turns out perfect. I do not need to add anything to it to thicken, it's perfect.
