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
Surprising indeed, to anyone who knows me and my natural food obessions.
However, I’m happy to have it, as it is the only grocery store I’ve so far found within walking distance of my dorms. I’d never buy meat from Albertsons, as I’m sure it’s all factory-farmed, but I was able to find stonyfield farm greek yogurt – score! So far, my roommate and I have been to albertsons every day save one. Among my other Albertsons treasures: peaches, apples, sparkling water, hot chocolate mix, and a GIANT ceramic mug.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to do any cooking while I’m here. The difficulties of student housing! But I really can not complain, the rooms are amazingly nice. Not only are they quite large, but each room is equipped with both a mini fridge and a microwave. Luxuries that I’ve never found in a dorm room before!
