Acidophilus Yogurt Starter - Pack of 5 Freeze - Dried Starter for Authentic Plain Acidophilus Yogurt (5 sachets)

I haven't eaten homemade yoghurt since I was a kid in the seventies, but I thought I'd give it a try to cut out some plastic packaging from my life. I used the vonchef digital yogurt maker. Sadly there were some plasic bags and foam in the packaging of the machine (could do better) . For the first batch I left it set at factory settings- 8 hours at 42 degrees. It turned out like a yogurt flavoured drink. The next time I increased to 43 degrees for 10 hours, and it was perfect. I used UHT milk, which I warmed in the microwave till it was as warm as baby's milk. I also added some boiling water to the machine to get it started. For my next batch I'm going to try ome of the yoghurt I made as a starter.

I have a local source of very creamy probiotic yoghurt which I use when I can as the starter for my own yoghurt. However it is a drive away and when I am away from home for any time need a product that I can use to make my own probiotic yoghurts. These starter sachets are effective and convenient to use and make a very nice yoghurt

Used the culture last week for the first time with a Lakeland Electric Yogurt maker and it turned out perfectly. It was thick and creamy, slightly sharp in taste. I am now on the second batch having saved a small amount from the first batch. Assuming this turns out OK I will then try making some soft cheese with it.

I wanted to make my own yoghurts and bought these sachets. Delivery was rapid. The sachets are well sealed and can be frozen. They come with clear simple instructions of how to use them. I started with one sachet (a tiny amount of powder) and my first batch of yoghurts were excellent (I had no previous experience). Since then I've re-used one yoghurt pot to make further yoghurts. All delicious. I'm delighted with my purchase.

I'm on my second batch using a spoonful of an earlier batch. It's hard to go wrong with this. I use a Lakeland yogurt maker, which is perfect, set the timer and let the yogurt culture work for a few hours. I use UHT whole milk, which is also perfect, and stick the milk in the microwave for two minutes, forty seconds, add the sachet, stir for a few minutes, stick the lid on and be patient while the magic works. What you get is a thick, tasty, healthy yogurt.

Very reliable website, easy to interact with. Sachets of culture don't even need to be refrigerated, which is helpful. The yoghurt made with them has a good flavour and thickness, though it tends to separate. This can be resolved by stirring once it has been thoroughly chilled after making. Will definitely continue using this product. Ruth Kirk.

Does exactly what it says on the packet! Used it with my new Lakeland yoghurt maker and got excellent results. Used full fat milk, have made two batches from yoghurt. Thank you.

Used this as per instructions and yogurt is lumpyMade without this added and yoghurt is smooth & beautiful but add this to mix and it looks curdled. Tastes normal but consistency is wrong. Very expensive for something that I found to make my yoghurt not as nice as without it so money wasted. Not happy
