My new obession, Icelandic yogurt

Random | July 31, 2009

Smooth, luscious, and oh so wonderfully thick. This yogurt is like Greek Yogurt, only more so! I am officially obsessed. So far I’ve only tried the plain, but with such interesting options (orange and ginger! acai! pomegranate and passion fruit!) I will have to try some of the flavors as well. Too bad it’s not available at the small Whole Foods near by me; though in a way it’s a good thing, the stuff is expensive (about $2.50). But when you’re talking about skyr, it’s understandable. Skyr is so good it’s even prompted adoring fans to write haikus (credit for this one, which can be found on the company’s website, goes to Stacy Prince)

Tangy sweet mouthful
Clean as snow and good and whole

Pudding of my heart.

P.S. if you google search “Icelandic yogurt” you can find a video of a woman talking excitedly in Icelandic about her skyr yogurt ;)
