Yogurt Starter Culture (10-Pack, 1.5g Sachets) Live Cultures for Homemade Yogurt | Creamy, Thick & Delicious | Regular or Greek Yogurt | Non-GMO, No Preservatives, Gluten Free

I had purchased a yogurt maker because I didn't like the yogurt options from the grocery store. I made several batches with plain yogurt as the starter. The results with fresh yogurt was pretty good, however I'm not sure if a week old container of plain yogurt was the reason following efforts were less than expected or whether adding cold yogurt cooled the mixture too low. The purchase of Coolinario Yogurt Starter Culture was so I would be consistent with the starter and not relying on having plain yogurt on hand. The instructions had minor variations from the instructions of the yogurt maker. Keeping it at 180°F for 20 minutes lowered the volume of milk making less yogurt. Cooling to 108°F vs 95°F seemed to be more appropriate. Just made my first batch with this culture and was pleased with the results. The consistency and taste was like store bought. Yet to be determine how repeatable the results will be as make adjustment to time.

It worked very well.

I got this starter to use in homemade yogurt, it didn’t work, and my yogurt was super thin. It was easy to use, but I was super disappointed. I could even taste it in the yogurt that I did strain and try. The quality wasn’t there, and I feel like you’ll get a better value for your money with another product.

worked as needed no issues with shipping

Arrived quickly. The zip sealing bag contains 10 packets of starter culture powder. Each packet contains about 1/10th of the length of the package. So, I guess you don't need a lot! That all being said, I have just begun making yogurt after 40 of not making it on my old machine. It made 6 pints at a time and was too work intensive compared to yogurt machines today. Now I have a simpler one that makes just one 8oz serving at a time. I'm single, so it's perfect. Anyway, the instructions on the package are simple and easy and you can supposedly make 64 oz of yogurt with a single pack of starter. The starter itself looks clean and pure. You simply add that to part of your pre heated milk (108 degrees) and then mix the rest together and start making. I had previously been making my yogurt simply by adding 2 tablespoons of fresh, active culture yogurt to my 8 oz container and starting the machine to both incubate, warm and then finally chill. It turned out beautifully. When this product arrived, I continued using my live yogurt, but added half of a pack to the mix and made it as usual. It turned out really thick and was a fast ferment. It hs a very smooth texture and has just slightly more tang to its taste than the yogurt before using it. I am going to continue experimenting, but so far I can only say that I am well pleased. The price is fine, but in the future, if I continue making yogurt with starter cultures, I will probably purchase a larger quantity package to really get a higher value for my money.

This is without a doubt the best appliance I have ever had. The yogurt maker is easy to operate, performs as described, and made delicious Greek yogurt using half & half. Incredibly simple to use and clean. Great bargain.

I made yogurt for the first time with this and it worked great

Made good quality thick consistency, very tasty yogurt. Used this yogurt few times to ferment more milk.

Compré los fermentos para yogur de Coolinario y estoy encantada. El yogur sale espeso, cremoso y con un sabor suave, sin esa acidez rara que a veces dan otros cultivos. Funciona muy bien incluso con leche pasterizada, así que no hace falta complicarse. Los sobres se disuelven rápido y no quedan grumos. Después de varias tandas puedo decir que es un producto estable: cada yogur sale igual de bueno. Perfecto para tomar solo, con fruta o como base para salsas. Muy buena calidad y sin duda lo volveré a comprar.

Die Kulturen funktionieren sehr gut. Der Joghurt ist mild und lecker.

Parfait pour faire les yaourts

Was great for a home made yogurt.

Great yogurt culture. Sweet and thick, this stuff works great in the Instant Pot on Yogurt setting.
